That's a shame. I always liked him.Charlie Robinson, best known for playing Mac on Night Court, passed away Sunday.
I'm in the same boat. He was always a competent actor that (other than Mac) when I saw the news I could only recognize a familiar face I'd seen dozens of times. It took me a moment to think of roles he'd played.That's a shame. I always liked him.

Comedic geniusJackie Mason, one of the last of the Borscht Belt comedians, has passed away. Aside from being a comedy great, he was known for voicing Rabbi Hyman Krustofsky, father of Krusty the Clown on The Simpsons. He had a great voice and comedic presence.

A true giant talentAmy Winehouse's 10th day of death!
When I first heard her song "Rehab" on the radio I liked it and thought she was going to go far. Then I heard the rest of the album, and "Rehab" was the only song on the album with it's own energy; everything else sounded like easy listening from the early-1960s. Then the reports of drug abuse and such, and...well, "Rehab" suddenly wasn't so funny.Amy Winehouse's 10th day of death!
I read about Dusty Hill's passing earlier today as well. I've also never seen them perform live (well, live on video, but...) and was hoping to do so one day. One of my first thoughts was what Billy Gibbons and Frank Beard are going to do now--bring on Elwood Francis as bassist, or just call it a day and hang it up. I suppose we'll find out eventually.
"But wait -- there's more" (Well ... let's hope so)
