RIP Robert Leo Hulseman -- Inventor of the red Solo cup:

Did you know what the three rings on the cup are for? It is to measure out a serving of whiskey, then wine then beer.

[JKL2000]

He was a genius.

i'm very disappointed that most 'In Memoriam' lists i see on the internet and hear on radio/TV do not included Keith Emerson, Greg Lake & Paul Kantner....
our local classic rock station went out of their way memorializing George Michael & Prince but never even play their music!
Lake just died a few weeks ago and they already forgot?

[Jerjo]

I saw a list of entertainers lost in 2016 on the NY Times today and both Emerson and Lake made the cut, Kantner as well.

...and winding down on 2016, we lose one more: William Christopher of M*A*S*H

Is Debbie Reynolds in there?

No, I did this right after Carrie Fisher died

and 2016 capped all this off by killing Mariah Carey's career................

[AncientChord]

^^^^^ No loss. She's non-existent to me anyway. Her and her kind make me want to vomit and those type of music artists with their sewer sludge sounds will never invade my home or my ears.

Humorist Stephen Kruiser thinks that the Grim Reaper meant to take Emerson Lake & Palmer out in 2016, but got drunk and took Emerson, Lake and Arnold Palmer instead.

[Lopez]

Many of the tribute lists leave off Dan Hicks. Just the fact that he was in the Charlatans, the first San Francisco band of the "West Coast Sound" makes him important, never mind all the stuff he did with the Hot Licks.
