        Nobody ever reads the dates on stuff they see on the internet.
        That community is already in the process of dissolution where each man begins to eye his neighbor as a possible enemy, where non-conformity with the accepted creed, political as well as religious, is a mark of disaffection; where denunciation, without specification or backing, takes the place of evidence; where orthodoxy chokes freedom of dissent; where faith in the eventual supremacy of reason has become so timid that we dare not enter our convictions in the open lists, to win or lose.

        • Yeah, she's been gone for a while now. There was a wonderful graphic of Mary and Rhoda meeting in heaven floating around when Valerie Harper passed away.

            I wonder what Larry's life expectancy was back when he was shot and paralyzed? He was only 35 at that point. 43 years must have been on the long side of it, I assume.

                      I knew that is what Kepler did. I have done that here at least once myself and try to remember to check dates now.

                      • I read this date: Chick Corea. He used to play at the tiny The Haunt in Ithaca in between huge gigs in Montreal and NYC every year I was in college, so I missed 4 chances to see him in a 200-person venue. I suck. RIP.

                          Light as a Feather is where his music started for me. Buddy went to Berklee and came back with that LP, still listen to it along with several other Electric band CDs. Great stuff.

                            Good job. :-)

                            I was wondering yesterday if he was famous since I had not heard of him. I learned about his death in a rather strange manner which requires some background. About ten years ago, I googled the name of my niece Emily Baer and even at time all of the links which came up were to a piano protegy named Emily Bear. I have been following her career as a pianist, composer, singer, etc. since then. She is now 19. For the last month she has been developing with Abigail Barlow a musical adaption of the Netflix series Bridgerton which I otherwise would not have heard of. They have been posting lengthy Instagram videos of their sessions every day. Due to their length and repetitiousness, I have not listened to most of these, but it was pointed out on a message board that Emily learned about Corea's death a little after the 58:00 mark of this Instagram video https://www.instagram.com/tv/CLKzDqW...=1d10ir67p8swv. An about 4-minute tribute follows.

                            One of numerous articles about Barlow and Bear's work https://people.com/tv/bridgerton-the...eators-tiktok/.

                                So with Cloris Leachman's recent death, does he get the extra time on Earth, or does Betty White? ;-)
