@bruce-m Serious question: Are there people who actually think Pop Tarts are good?
My kids used to eat them when they were young, but I never liked them.

My kids used to eat them when they were young, but I never liked them.
Even as kid I didn't much like them -- perhaps because my mom frequently bought good sweet rolls from an actual bakery, and the comparison was not favorable to Pop Tarts.

Rip, John Duff Lowe. In the late 1950s, he played piano for the Quarrymen, including In Spite of All the Danger - the band's first record!

@andrewmbarros I just heard about his passing. He was the one that kept that record for decades and Paul ended up buying it from him!
He was 81. Born Apr. 13, 1942 and passed today, the 22nd.
Sad to say the next to go will be Len Garry - he’s in ill health. -

Roni Stoneman, ‘First Lady of the Banjo’ and ‘Hee Haw’ Cast Member, Dies at 85
Here's the Stoneman Family years before "Hee Haw." It starts off deceptively slow, but at about 0:53 Roni really cuts loose. She was an amazing player.

@bruce-m Is that dance she's doing got a name?

Star Trek and Marvel star Kenneth Mitchell is dead at 49 after heroic five-year battle with ALS
So sad! I am a big Star Trek fan and saw all his roles and remember his face from ST: Discovery. Have all the seasons on DVD.

Jackie Loughery, ‘The D.I.' Actress and Wife of Jack Webb, Dies at 93
Fun fact: During my misspent youth, I worked for 2 years as a server at The Smoke House restaurant, near the Burbank Studios. Jack Webb was a regular at lunch. He drank. A lot. He always ordered Crown Royal and water, and I never saw him have fewer than 7 -- and sometimes 8 or 9 -- before having a bite to eat. And all he would get for lunch was a shrimp cocktail. Amazingly, he showed no visible effects (if I had that much to drink, I'd be horizontal -- even when I was young and spry). Not a surprise that he died of a heart attack at age 62. I can only assume his liver was pretty well pickled as well.

@bruce-m Wow! Amazing how some people are so dumb - he could have lived another 30 years!

And so could Richard Burton, who died at 59 after having spent a good portion of his adult life downing two bottles of booze a day. Don't worry, I am not calling for a return of Prohibition and certainly don't mind the occasional nip now and then myself, but too much too often will literally kill you.
