In case you didnt know , the Man In Black passed away last nightat the age of 71. And completely unexpectedly John Ritter passed away also at the age of 51.
John Ritter dying so young makes you realise how you should just totally live life to the full and always go after what you really want to do....
Never been a fan of John Ritter...still thats a young age to die

Johnny Cash was probably the only country singer I liked to listen to, and living in Texas it is hard not to hear it all the time. He had a very distinctive sound and a personality to match, a sad loss.
Yeah. Complete shock about Ritter. He collapsed on set for his show
And another thing about Ritter is not alot of people know that he was a very very smart guy. And he liked his cameos in very serious movies - such as playing a gay grocery store owner in the movie sling Blade.
Why is it that whenever I click on this thread I get a notice that the Certificate for http://www.footballwise.com has expired ??? -? Someone must be responsible - and it ain't me evil
Gutted about Johnny Cash... now I'll never get to see him perform live. cry I guess I'll listen to "American Recordings" this weekend.
I used this on my dad's funeral notices, as Johnny Cash was a big favourite of his. Perhaps they are having a cup of tea together now? :)

SUNSET

I'll tell you how the sun set.
As shadows marched in lines.
And God sent west his rainbows.
A color at a time.
The hills put on their blankets.
The hawk and crow were done.
And as I said softly in twilight.
See you tomorrow, sun.
I sat out in the darkness.
And felt the dew drops fall.
I watched the moon rise in its place.
I heard the night birds call.
God's world, in perfect order.
In line, one after one.
May I be in accordance.
On my last setting sun.

Thought Ritter was 54 which gives me a whole year. I am surprised about how much news coverage he got. I guess I never saw enough American TV when young to make him that newsworthy. Sad though.
Have they found a new medical test for the condition yet? I mean having a ticking time bomb like a split in the aorta, surely they should be able to pick something like that up beforehand.
