I just saw that Shane MacGowan, leader of the Pogues is dead at 65. Seems awfully young

Not sure why this comment is necessary?

My SO is a huge pogue's fan. RIP Shane who's very lucky he made it to 65 given the life he lead. His/their music will live on forever.

Sandra Day O'Connor

Justice O'Connor was a remarkable woman and the anecdotes I've read about her in the SCOTUS, especially in welcoming the second female Justice really showed just how much she endured as the first and how she did not want it to be that way for Justice Ginsburg. If there is a heaven, I'd love to hear the chats these two women are having now.

I think this is a fair comment.

He and Lucille Ball brought more diversity to television than anyone in the 60s and 70s. He definitely helped make the world a better place.

I know of April Wine but was struggling to remember any of their songs. They were a band with a few hits but mostly flew under the radar. This came across in one of my Spotify mixes and it reminded me of how much I liked this song:

I've heard some folks here note several resorts having Iowa founding members.

More interesting and really not surprising his statement on Summit county and the beauty - best in the world. RIP
