RIP...for all that have passed

SurSteven:
Watching him light the Olympic Torch was one of the coolest television events I have ever watched. He was far more than just a boxer.

Here is a video from Friday night when Paul Simon broke the news to us all there. I didn't take this video, but shows the reaction of the crowd and you can hear Paul's voice break a tiny bit. Such a powerful moment and I was tearing up by the end of this song.

Here's Paul McCartney's comment on Ali's passing: "Dear Muhammad Ali. I loved that man. He was great from the first day we met him in Miami, and on the numerous occasions when I ran into him over the years. Besides being the greatest boxer, he was a beautiful, gentle man with a great sense of humour who would often pull a pack of cards out of his pocket, no matter how posh the occasion, and do a card trick for you. The world has lost a truly great man. Love Paul"

Wow. You can tell how emotional the reaction was. Ali was a hero. I hope the love he got in his later years made up for the hate heaped on him when he stood up against the Vietnam war.

Sending good thoughts, oobu24. When my dad died several years ago, I found listening to "The End of the End" really comforting. I always cried while it was playing, but it was a healthy, cleansing cry.
Thank you for reminding me of that song. It's stuck in my head now. It is beautiful.

Christina Grimmie, 22, third place winner of "the Voice" season 2014 was shot dead after a concert she gave in Orlando, Fla., Friday night by an obsessed stalker type of fan, it appears, a young man age 27 from St. Petersburg. It was a double tragedy as he killed himself right after. Her brother struggled with the killer. It's very upsetting I watched "The Voice" that year and remember Christina on it. She was very talented.

Very sad. Also it feels all too familiar for obvious reasons. Prayers for her and her family.

America's belief that every lunatic should have the right to own a gun is insane.

Yes. We saw another mass shooting again last night. Why does a citizen need to own an assault rifle?

Yes, every other advanced nation in this world can keep these mass shootings under control, all except us. Not saying mass shootings don't happen in other countries, because they do, but no where near at the level we have here in the States. And yet nothing is ever done as they keep getting more and more frequent. Most of the government just shrugs their shoulders as if to say oh well.

Maybe when 90% of us are wiped out, but even then I doubt it.
