80 Years Ago Today

80 years ago today the great Glenn Miller dissappeared over the English Channel during WWII. He was never found.

May he continue to RIP.

Kris Kristofferson

Kris Kristofferson, the singer/songwriter/actor who  wrote hits like Me and Bobby McGee and starred in the '70's version of A Star is Born,  has died. He was 88.

I remember him most from my very early youth,  from way back on Windlake Ave, which puts it at pre-'79.  My parents had an 8-track of the soundtrack from A Star is Born. They must have had a Kristofferson 8-track too, because I remember Jesus Was a Capricorn. Anyway, what I remembered most about him was the repetition in his name, and being fascinated by it, like Dan Danielson. Weird what kids think about. 

I also remember him from the '80's miniseries Amerika, about a US occupied by Soviet forces. 

RIP
