The Lovely Gale Storm
I loved My Little Margie!
And what is Noonan smokin? There'll never be anybody as famous as Michael Jackson?? Good grief.
I just re-watched that and nowhere did she say "There'll never be anybody as famous as Michael Jackson".
She did alude to the fact that people won't be that famous again because of the way our culture is developing. When rock & roll music & Motown was fresh in the 50's & 60's, it was an exciting time for us all. Everybody listened to the new wave of popular musicians coming through at that time and it was a new sensation for us all.
Nowadays, that feeling is a little more than jaded as we seem to be bombarded left and right by new acts that are really not adding that much to the musical landscape and disappear as quickly as they turned up.
With a population of 7900, I bet most of the town knew Casey Hills. Pray for his family.
Name one or two important people who died last week?
What a record our civilization and society has achieved and recorded that presents Michael Jackson, a former musician turned creepy weirdo, over even Farah Fawcett, an actress that hid from the superstar tabloids and tried to be normal.
Then to abandon all mention of our soldiers, sailors, marines and airmen as they take their last breath on those unworthy desert shit holes, Iraq and Afghanistan.

Sky Saxon was too easly forgotten from the list. He was the front man for an LA garage band called The Seeds.
Glad to see someone remembered Gale Storm and Billy Mayes here too.
RIP everyone.
responses but not a mention of the damage done by the entertainment industry having child labor. Somehow it's not ok to stick kids in sweatshops, but perfectly fine to steal their childhood and adolescence for profit and entertainment of the masses. Jon & Kate are now doing the same thing to their children that Joe Jackson did.
