Gordon Lightfoot, 84

I had front row seats to a concert of his in Virginia, in 1977. It was the tour for Summertime Dream, which included the haunting dirge hit, The Wreck Of The Edmund Fitzgerald. He left a great body of work behind for us to enjoy.

I’ll merely allude to a famous Bette Davis quote as I post this (not terribly Christian of me, I’ll admit):

www.washingtonpost.com/obituaries/2023/06/08/televangelist-pat-robertson-dies/

The Rev. Pat Robertson, a Baptist preacher who attracted a worldwide following as a religious broadcaster, built a business empire from his headquarters in Virginia Beach and helped create a powerful political movement of religious conservatives as a founder of the Christian Coalition, died June 8 at his home in Virginia Beach. He was 93. 
His death was announced by the Christian Broadcasting Network, which Mr. Robertson founded. 
Rev. Robertson, the son of a long-serving U.S. congressman and senator from Virginia, was among the first evangelists to take religion out of the realm of private belief and into the secular arena of politics. In large part through his influence, the Christian right became a potent force in American politics and culture.

(About fame) Living for likes, shares and follows is a form of validation. The question is whether it is also the source of our self esteem. If it is, we’re screwed. And, culturally, it seems as if it’s become more and more our shared value. ... Meringue is no longer a sweet and pretty topping but the body itself. ~Charles Perez

You are nicer than I am. I thought about posting about his death but the thread title is RIP and I just couldn't do it.
