The RIP Thread...

[MasterBlaster]

We'll start it off with;

Roy Scheider dead at 75 from bone marrow cancer. I liked 'ole Roy, he was cool. Jaws and 2010 were his best, I think.

RIP, brother!

 

[stehansen]

He was pretty good. I enjoyed both of those movies.

 

[MasterBlaster]

I hope I'm in as good as shape as he was when I'm his age!

 

[MasterBlaster]

Jeff Healey dies.

Remember him from Roadhouse? I always liked his unusual style.

RIP, brother Jeff!

[TC3]

You've never seen Roadhouse?

Hell yeah I have !
But he's made 3 jazz albums with his band the Jazz Wizards ? He also plays the trumpet & drums ? >>>
Never knew any o' that stuff !
The article said he's got a new rock album due out this year, too.
Busy guy.
The article was good.

Yeah he was pretty cool. Too bad about the cancer.

 

[MasterBlaster]

You must not like Patrick Swayze.

Even if Gigi doesn't like Patrick Swayze you know that deep down she has a thing for Sam Elliot. You have to see roadhouse Gigi. It is guy flick that chicks dig.

[fishhuntcutwood]

I wish I was as cool as Sam Elliot.

I've seen Jeff Healey live, absolutely amazing. He would get up and rip around the stage pretty good, he had his chair on a mat so he could find his way back.

I like Patrick Swayze.

I knew it!

I wish I was as cool as Sam Elliot.

You are spot-on....Sam Elliot is the real thing. He's always been one of my heroes.

I read a lot of Louis L'Amour...Sam Elliot is perfect for those characters (Sacketts for example).

What a friggin' awesome catch of vid !!!
L'il Sister... Imagine That, M'Grlfrnds !!! I'd be the li' sis of either of those guys any day o' the week !!!!!!!
Hey, take another listen to "Angel Eyes" ... It is all from the perspective of a 'seeing' person >>> Jeff was blind.

 

[squisher]

When I saw Jeff Healey it was on his 'See the light' tour. Dude had a sense of humor for sure.

 

[squisher]

I hear that Jeff Healey has a record that he recently completed but is yet to be released called "Mess of Blues". Apparently blues/rock.
