[Driftwood]

Truly an American icon.

Absolutely an American icon.

Nothing can stop that now.

Rest easy King Jaffe Joffer

 

[Starman]

He had a hell of a funeral.

 

[DanOregon]

Oh man. Absolute legend. Hard to pick my favorite - so many incredible performances. So I'll go with one of his lesser known ones.






RIP Darth. To the cornfields.

Like Paul Newman in "Cars", the younger generations know him from an animated voiceover. We're lucky to know a bit more.

Saw him do the National Anthem in Philly before Game 4 of the NLCS in 1978. He was there for an off-Broadway tryout of a play about Paul Robeson. Didn't even try to mess with the high notes. Jones RECITED the anthem. For anyone else, it'd be ridiculous and humiliating. He of course made it sound great.

This was CNN … back when CNN was worth knowing.

His soliloquy on baseball makes 'Field of Dreams."

"People will come, Ray. People will most definitely come."

 

[Baron Scicluna]

“There is something out there, Ray, and if I have the courage to go through with this, what’ll story this will make.”

RIP

When I wondered why he would do Arby's commercials, my wife tells me of an interview she read in which he was asked that very question. "Because they asked," he said.
RIP to a legend.
