He was a clown.
An entertaining clown, but a clown nonetheless.
71 is not bad considering how he carried so much excess weight for so many years.
He probably attended too many In-n-Out trips and compared their burgers, fries and shakes with everyone else's.

I think Haystack Calhoun would have taken the Hulkster to the woodshed……and only God knows what he would have done to him there.

Chuck Mangione, the most famous flugelhorn* player in the history of the world (and no relation to Luigi) dies at 84.
Mainly famous for the song "Feels So Good", which climbed the pop charts in 1978, despite being a pop/jazz instrumental piece. Bonus points for the first person here who can post a pic of their own "Feels So Good" album. I just tried looking for mine and realized how long I've been putting off cleaning out the garage. Yikes.
DiabloWags, can you locate your album? I know you have one, or at least you used to.
* a flugelhorn plays like a trumpet, but a little bit deeper and mellower
Miles Davis famously described Chuck Mangione's music as "cotton candy, primarily fluff with no substance."
*Cool Jazz is where it at! Smooth Jazz is Muzak.
*I didn't care for Miles' B@itches Brew Jazz/Fusion era. Kind of Blue that included The Trane as a band member is the best jazz album ever recorded. Duane Allman wore the grooves off his.

The trumpet is a versatile instrument and it takes all kinds of trumpet players to fill a pantheon. Chuck Mangione was sort of like Herb Alpert, they were pop guys. Mangione also did some more "serious" stuff.
Miles Davis was awesome, but he often got a little too avant-garde for my tastes. Sometimes, while playing, he would turn his back on the audience, as if in disdain. Cool jazz and bop are super "intelligent" sub-genres... sometimes too smart for me.
The best players can often play different styles of music with some expertise. Major props to Wynton Marsalis, who has achieved world class status as both a classical player and also playing combo jazz.

I also like the Million Dollar Man, Ted Dibiase
The chapters in Cicely Tyson's autobiography where she discusses her husband, Miles Davis, were worth the price of admission for me. He was so brilliant and cool but an absolute train wreck…..and she loved the hell out of him, but couldn't save him. She had an interesting 96 years.

This was a squirrel named Peanut (also known as P'Nut) He was euthanized by New York State authorities on October 30, 2024. The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) seized Peanut, an eastern gray squirrel, and a raccoon named Fred from the home of Mark Longo in Pine City, New York, following anonymous complaints about the illegal keeping of wildlife as pets. Both animals were euthanized to test for rabies after Peanut reportedly bit a DEC agent during the seizure. The rabies tests later returned negative results. Peanut had gained significant social media fame, with over 500,000 Instagram followers, for his playful antics, such as eating waffles and wearing tiny hats. Longo, who ran P'Nuts Freedom Farm Animal Sanctuary, had rescued Peanut seven years earlier after the squirrel's mother was killed by a car. The euthanasia sparked widespread outrage, with figures like Elon Musk, JD Vance, and Donald Trump Jr. criticizing the DEC's actions as government overreach. RIP.

Having played the Trumpet from 4th grade thru 12th grade, Mangione was one of my heroes.
Saw him play at the Greek Theater in Berkeley on several occasions.
Definitely more of a "pop" guy.
Now you got me thinking Big C.
Where is my crate of LP's hiding?

Definitely some props for your post, DW, but as I stated, the real treasure trove of bonus points will go to the first person who posts a pic of their own Feels So Good album. 24 hours ago, I thought it'd be me, but then I went down into the basement/garage and looked for 24 minutes... and got really discouraged. And sorting through that area is about only #4 on my to-do list around the house, so somebody else will likely score those valuable points. Alas.
Never heard the late Chuck Mangione live, but I have a decent list of trumpet players crossed off my bucket list (a couple of whom are getting quite up there in age, sorry to say):
Al Hirt (dec.)
Herb Alpert
Doc Severinsen
Jon Faddis
Mike Vax
Stan Mark (dec.)
Wynton Marsalis, 2x
Maynard Ferguson (dec.) 4x
Leaving some out, no doubt. Oops, going down a rabbit hole here. Sorry, concordtom!

This was the beginning of an all-time great wrestling angle between Hulk Hogan and Randy Savage that aired in October of 1987. The story lasted over a year, culminating in a match at WrestleMania 5 in 1989. And because it didn't air live, they edited it beautifully. pic.twitter.com/lTBxmALBms

I played a Doc Severinson Signature Getzen Trumpet. Still have it 50 years later. I will post a photo tomorrow. Has push-button spit valves.
My baseball and overall sports hero, Ryne Sandberg, passed away today at the age of 65.
RIP Ryno

RIP Nad.
My Mom and Dad took me to see Louis Armstrong at the Berkeley Community Theater when I was 10. His cover of Hello Dolly was # 1 on the charts at the time. I found this AI Overview of the concert:
"Louis Armstrong and His All-Stars performed at the Berkeley Community Theater in 1964. The theater, located on the Berkeley High School campus, had a seating capacity of 3,491 at the time.
A review described the concert as a "night of unequaled showmanship." It also noted that Armstrong performed over 30 songs. The setlist featured classics such as "Birth of the Blues," "When the Saints Go Marching In," and "Mack the Knife". Jewel Brown, a female blues singer, performed songs such as "I Left My Heart in San Francisco" and "Lover Come Back". Armstrong's recent hit, "Hello Dolly," was a highlight and reportedly "brought the house down," resulting in three encores.
Photos from this period show Armstrong backstage at the Berkeley Community Theater. In 1964, the Louis Armstrong All-Stars included Russell Moore on trombone, Joe Darensbourg on clarinet, Billy Kyle on piano, Arvell Shaw on bass, and Danny Barcelona on drums."
