Adam West AKA Batman dies at 88.

As cheesy as it was (particularly as we look back), He was the Batman that I grew up with. I have very fond memories of that show from my youth.

Agree Completely

I had just recently researched Band of Brothers which included Malarkey. Highly recommend if you haven't watched it.

Yes it was confirmed. There was a redaction for several hours then confirmed. It might have been released eariler than it should have.

Add Robert Yates to the list for the NASCAR peeps. I met him once at a race years ago prior and after Davey Allison's passing in 93. Cool cat. I was at Pocono in 93 the week after Davey Allison was killed in the helicopter crash at Talladega for a practice session. They had a memorial set up where the car hauler was located. A friend of my father's was able to sneek us into the garage with some hot pit passes from one of his suppliers. I was not suppose to be in there at the time but I was told to shut up and look the part. We met with Jack Roush and his crew chief at the time. Some other racers and had to go to get the passes back to our friends.

Sadly, my father's friend passed away about 11 years ago. He was driving to work and never stopped for a traffic light. He couldn't as he had a massive heart attack coming down a long hill before the intersection and pretty much was gone as his vehicle slammed into the vehicles in front of him. Even more strange. A place I worked at the manager had a son who worked for the local EMS squad. He was on scene dealing with the aftermath. My manager came in the next day talking about a bad car crash in his area. At first I didn't put 2 and 2 together. When my father found out more details since I was familar with the road, I realized the manager's son worked the scene. I told my manager the next day about the concidence.

I have all my life been a huge fan of the rock band AC/DC. It is with heavy heart I post that the rock world has lost one of the founders of the legendary band. Malcolm Young has passed at the age of 64.
