I had something else planned for yesterday's post, but this video appeared when I searched for its topic, so I wrote James Earl Jones passes at 93 instead.
I linked to this video and quoted its description in Marching music for the Michigan Primary — Legends, U of M, MSU, Rockford, and DeWitt.
I found a video with livelier delivery and informative preview image for R.I.P. Sinéad O'Connor, who died one day before 'Nothing Compares' earned two News & Documentary Emmy Awards nominations.
I ran across this sad news after reading a spam comment on comments on Noah, Corden, Colbert, and Kimmel make jokes about Trump potentially pardoning his family and friends at Crazy Eddie's Motie News.
Rejected video for Bob Dole obituary post
Dec. 6th, 2021 10:19 amI decided there was too much opinion and not enough fact in the following video for me to include it in R.I.P. Bob Dole, the last Republican presidential nominee I voted for.
I decided against using the following video in Carl Levin, Michigan's longest serving U.S. Senator, dies at 87 because I used other videos with much of the same information.

I didn't know until Twitter notified me that Santana covered "Black Magic Woman" and it was originally a Fleetwood Mac song. That's because its songwriter, Peter Green, just died. I had never even heard of him until today. I always associated the founding of the band to Mick Fleetwood and John and Christine McVie, but Green was a founding member as well. Things you don't learn until too late.
Here's the original recording.

Nov. 13th, 2018 09:09 amAt Crazy Eddie's Motie News, I posted R.I.P. Stan Lee. Here is a video that didn't make the cut for that entry.

The Hollywood Reporter, reported October 6, 2018: Scott Wilson, Actor in 'The Walking Dead' and 'In Cold Blood,' Dies at 76.
Scott Wilson, the Georgia-born actor admired for the intensity he demonstrated in such dark, disturbing projects as In Cold Blood, The Walking Dead and The Ninth Configuration, has died after a battle with cancer. He was 76.As a fan of "The Walking Dead," this hit me. I get to mourn Hershel all over again.
Details were not immediately available, but the official Twitter account for The Walking Dead comic book, on which the popular AMC show of the same name is based, confirmed the news Saturday. "We are deeply saddened to report that Scott Wilson, the incredible actor who played Hershel on #TheWalkingDead, has passed away at the age of 76," the statement read.

Deadline Hollywood, reported June 22, 2018: ‘Timeless’ Canceled By NBC After 2 Seasons, Might Get Series Finale Movie.
But what about Rufus? This is bad news for Timeless fans — for a second consecutive year, NBC has canceled the time-travel series. This time, NBC postponed the renewal decision until after the May upfronts; it comes just days before the options of the series’ cast are set to expire.Reposted from JournalFen.
That was in part because the network and Timeless producer Sony Pictures TV had been discussing doing a two-hour movie that would resolve the cliffhanger in the recent Season 2 finale and wrap the stories on the show, giving fans closure. I hear the two sides have not been able to make the economics work so far but conversations continue, and NBC appears interested.
I first posted at deathwatch on JournalFen: Anthony Bourdain (1956 – 2018), celebrity chef, author, and TV host. When I reposted at my personal journal there, I wrote, "This hits me hard, as I have been a fan of his since I read "Kitchen Confidential." People also said I sound like him."
At Crazy Eddie's Motie News, I made a less personal point: Anthony Bourdain's and Kate Spade's deaths call attention to rising suicide rates in the U.S. This is part of a larger trend displayed in the following graphic from Business Insider.
I'm not done with this piece of news. I plan on using it to update U.S. life expectancy falls prompting Russian analogies from 2016. I'll post a link here when I do.
