Robbie Robertson, Leader of The Band, Dies at 80
Guitarist-songwriter-singer Robbie Robertson, who led the Canadian-American group the Band to rock prominence in the 1970s and worked extensively with Bob Dylan and Martin Scorsese, has died. He wa…

The Band... a very very special story:
We were "camping" (small trailer actually) near Pismo Beach, CA. In the evening, these guys were hangin out around this stone circle thing (like a garden?) They looked very casual... laid back and had guitars (I also played guitar but didn't bring mine) As they played, I kept thinking "these guys are pros". I didn't know the song (it was popular before I was old enough to recognize it) the song was "up on cripple creek" Eventually, I heard the song on a "oldies" rock station... OMG I instantly knew that was them I had met. I am quite sure. I can still remember it like it was yesterday. So, I am fairly sure I met Robbie Robertson
I am especially full of sorrow for the loss (but to be honest I'll be surprised if I even live to be close to 80)
BTW, one of them was playing a "jaw harp".

Bob Barker, iconic host of 'The Price Is Right' and animal activist, dies at 99
Bob Barker, iconic host of 'The Price Is Right' and animal activist, dies at 99
Barker starred for more than five consecutive decades as a TV game-show host, including 35 as the host of "The Price Is Right."
Bob always mentioned getting your pets spayed/neutered... so finally after years of hearing him say that we got all the cats fixed (us and our duplex neighbor) Good timing... it was a buy one get one deal.
He was a great guy and made the price is right a great show.
I seem to remember a phrase back in the day "the price is wrong Bob" (not making fun of him, just something we said relating to other things)

Most hysterical thing EVER! I agree! RIP Bob.
I remember back when the prizes on The Price Is Right included goats and geese as joke prizes. These days, people would expect those animals to be given to them as pets. But then, they no longer give houses in Florida as prizes anymore either.
I'm not sure, but that sounds more like "Let's made a deal" with host Monty Hall
