RIP Notable Figures

Spuzz I didn't watch the show much because it always felt scripted, but I did find Phil and the family to be entertaining. I know he was a religious fellow and pray that he is enjoying the eternal life he was seeking after the past couple years of suffering.

Rick Derringer. I saw him live once. Oddly enough he was supporting Cindy Lauper. I think Eddie Money was the opener.

Besides being the lead dude in the McCoys (Hang on Sloopy 1965) he was a prominent record producer. Hooked up with Johnny and Edgar Winter for his own mastery and also played on many records with other well-known artists. Google him. He was well connected. RIP.

He has a place in our heart. "Hang on Sloopy" was one of my wife's favorite songs from the 60's and
"Rock and Roll Hoochie Coo" was the first song my wife and I danced to on our first date. At the time I
didn't know he was the lead singer on "Hang on Sloopy" as well.

I wasn't entertained by MASH or Peter, Paul, and Mary. But I know plenty of people found joy in what they did, and I hope they had great joy bringing entertainment to others. Rest in Peace.

johnnydoom I enjoyed mash. The humor is right up my alley, a little dark.

Walterjn I didn’t hate the show, I just found it more serious than I like comedy to be. The only characters that appealed to me were Klinger and Potter. The only scene I actually recall now was Klinger trying to escape via hang glider.

Walterjn

johnnydoom it definitely had more gallows humor than most comedies do.

azgreg

It was a dramedy.

rsvman2

Walterjn Kind of inescapable, since it was a 'comedy' set against the backdrop of a surgical unit in an active war zone.

Walterjn

rsvman2 I'm pretty sure they the guys who wrote the book on the mash unit the show was based on included a lot of gallows humor and the writers kept it in and tried to tone it down some.

Walterjn Actually the show was a spinoff of the M.A.S.H movie.
You need to watch it.

TV show was never as good as the movie.

Walterjn

Par4QC I think I've seen the movie once, it's just been way too long since.

Murdered by a homophobe.

I find it so sad that some people just cannot let other people live their lives as they want. Are they “hurting” you by being together? For fuck’s sake.

I don't know man. Some people just get so angry that their lives aren't turning out the way they want and take it out on others.

Walterjn

candukid exactly.
I have friends who are the same as Mr. Joss, while I don't agree with their lifestyle, I am commanded by my God to love him for who he is. I am not his judge, I am only supposed to lead/ witness by example, and love my neighbor as myself.
