The RIP thread

[DavidSSS]

My partner is a fan of country and was shocked at the news. Kristofferson was a great songwriter, a gift few have. There are many songs we have to thank him for.

We can also thank him for his outspoken support of resistance movements and progressive causes.

Rest well Kris.

Amazing life, Rhodes Scholar, Air Force Helicopter Pilot, then was a janitor at Columbia Records, in Nashville, and gave June Carter & Johnny Cash a tape of his songs.

Reputedly parked a chopper on their front lawn to get their attention at the time.

If my memory serves me correctly, he was one of my favourites on NBA Jam, he could block anything.

 

[Scoop]

Great human being was Dikembe.

“WHO WANTS TO SEX MUTOMBO?”

Dike would walk into Georgetown bars and scream this as his pick up line.

The work he did in Africa, was phenomenal. And a defensive force.
