It would be the icing on the cake to see all news reports of 45’s demise describe him as Ivana Trump’s ex-husband. Given his many misogynistic comments, I’d give bonus points to any publication that listed his status as a grandparent and father first, before mentioning any professional accomplishments.

Agree with your general premise, but I’m not convinced he has any accomplishments to speak of in the parenting realm either!

Pat Martino had a massive cerebral hemorrhage midway through his career. He had amnesia so severe he couldn’t recognize his own parents, let alone remember how to play guitar. He had to teach himself to play all over again from scratch. He was amazing before his hemorrhage, but he was even better after he regained his abilities.

I saw that yesterday and immediately thought of our own @BakaNeko.
One of the perks of the BBS is having events all over the world matter more because you ‘know’ someone from that locality.

She was very popular. Her songs dealt with the pains of lost loves and always brought a feminine perspective to relationships. This explains what I read in the newspapers and saw on TV. The stories about her life say that most of her fanbase was made up of women.
I think it’s been a while since I’ve seen such a commotion due to the death of a famous artist.
Her songs weren’t my cup of tea. But I was upset to see the rescue done by firefighters and that unfortunately she ended up passing away.
