Aww … I just found out Dame Edna Everage (Barry Humphries) passed yesterday at 89. She was an absolute riot! Listening to her talk about her husband and the misadventures her children would get up to was always so so funny. RIP sweet Edna. You will always be remembered for your wit and wisdom. :heart:

If Gordon Lightfoot wrote “Canadian Railroad Trilogy” and did not write another song in his life, he’d still go down in history as Canada’s national treasure. Rest in peace.

As a young teenager, some friends and I went to see the movie Tommy. We went to see how The Who had turned their album from a few years earlier into a full-length movie.

Years later, I don’t remember much about the movie. What I do remember is Tina Turner playing the role of The Acid Queen.

I always thought she was timeless … she never seemed to age. I loved her music. RIP Tina :heart:

Hot damm I had forgotten about that. It shows how long she was at the top.
