Pro-Wrestler and former member of the japanese diet Antonio Inoki has passed away at the age of 79.
This is too sad.
RIP Jerry Lee Lewis, that rare rock star so horrible he actually faced some consequences.
This is a hell of a paragraph:
at the age of 21, after he attained national success with his pounding rockabilly singles âWhole Lotta Shakinâ Goinâ Onâ and âGreat Balls of Fire,â his career hit the wall with the scandalous revelation of his marriage to his 13-year-old cousin
He also mightâve killed one of his wives who was less than half his age.
Like, dude is kind of a trailblazer in how much of a piece of shit rock stars can be. He was kind of the first Rock n Roll Wild Man and while he faced consequences, the way we treated his antics helped normalize horrible shit other rock stars got away with. He was one of the great pianists of both rock n roll and country music but his music didnât have the lasting impact that his public persona did.
All that being said, I would still give anything to be able to go back in time and watch him set fire to his own piano to upstage the headliner, Chuck Berry.
God damn that was a wild ride.

What a bad embed.
Julie Powell, food writer behind âJulie & Julia,â dead at 49
I saw some people commenting that she got Covid a couple of months ago and had been sharing on Twitter her struggles with ongoing maladies that may or may not have been related to the disease. But maybe the connection is not directly causal. If nothing else it is the worst luck.
This one is a shame. Had just put out a new project too.
Iâd never heard of this guy until today but, being a queer Americana artist myself, he felt legendary the moment I found out about him.
RIP Kevin
Itâs honestly hard for me to grock how much he and the BTAS crew revolutionized what Batman could be outside comic books. The Keaton Batman is to me what the West Batman was to the Keaton fans â good in a kind of campy way, but not the real Batman. I wasnât even watching BTAS until recently but when I did I could see the seismic shift in Batman that was, and Conroy will always be a legend because of it.
