The first time I became aware of the Fall of the American Empire was when I watched Jay Leno's bit Jay Walking many years ago (watch on YouTube).

The most generous explanation I can resolve myself to is that people get so excited about seeing Jay on the street or the prospect of getting interviewed for TV that they can't think straight.

Sadly, I think I'm wrong. People really are that dumb!




They I assume interview a dozen people to get a few funny answers.

Tim Bachman of Bachman-Turner Overdrive dead at 71

*A Greatest Hits Album of 3 songs, but hey, they 'taint bad. Lots of AM radio play. In the '70's when you flew and plugged the cheesy headphone set into the armrest, you could count on BTO songs. Airline Muzak.

*Kinda Doobies Lite

I could never quite decide if Jerry Springer caused the decline of American civilization, or merely reflected it. Probably mostly the latter, but he was a catalyst, to be sure.


…and the Kardashians and their bleached cloaca delivered the kill shot.


…and the viewing audience who gave it life via ratings. Yes, dajo, this means you.

…and, I was going to say, most of the many human hours wasted on all of BI can certainly be considered in this examination of the decline of American civilization.


Who says American civilization is declining? I see great gains made in American civilization. Crime rates have certainly decreased tremendously from the era of Jerry Springer. We have more equality and more openness.

The negative aspects of our culture today mostly come from people who are upset about the progress of American civilization. They are a loud, vocal, sometimes violent, sometimes treasonous minority of despicables.

If you could read my mind, you'd know that I'm bummed out because Gordon Lightfoot passed away. Great singer and songwriter.

Bob Dylan said of Lightfoot, "Every time I hear a song of his, it's like I wish it would last forever. I loved his melodies. I loved his storytelling lyrics. His songs will grow greater with time passing."

Best Gordon Lightfoot song - should have been Canada's anthem If O Canada weren't so great!



This song was commissioned by the CBC in 1967 as part of Canada's centennial. It's right up there with Kraftwerk's Trans Europe Express as the greatest song ever written about rail travel.

I'm not sure this is the appropriate thread, but I noticed Rob has been replaced in The Legal Help Center ads.

I hope nothing dastardly befell him.

Can't believe he was still in his 50s considering I listened so much to the Smith in high school. He was only about 8 years older than me. Way too young.

Must see:



Jim Brown's first movie role was in one of my favorite Westerns. He was great in it.





Mr. Brown was an All American in football and Lacrosse at Syracuse.

Michael Delacour, People's Park co-founder, dies at 85
Delacour hosted the first meetings to organize and build People's Park at his Berkeley home in the 1960s.

If I missed it, gosh, it must just be that people keep dying and dying and I can't keep up with them all, because, don't you know, my brain cells are dying and dying, too.

Anyways, I'm glad to see my thread is going so well - business is booming!

The only concern is 'who will post my demise when I go?'.

If he had only built People's Park at his Berkeley home, it would have saved us decades of problems.

Aw, you guys beat me.

But, there are already multiple entries on findagrave. Looks like those duplicates will be wiped out. And this will be the official F.A.G. page, which F.A.G. maintains for celebrities.
