Mojo Nixon
https://www.msn.com/en-us/music/news/mo ... 4d84&ei=97
Mojo Nixon, the unapologetically brash musician, actor, and radio DJ, died of "a cardiac event" on Wednesday, Feb. 7, his family confirmed to Rolling Stone. He was 66. Nixon was aboard the Outlaw Country Cruise, an annual music cruise where he was a co-host and regular performer.
"August 2, 1957 - February 7, 2024 Mojo Nixon. How you live is how you should die. Mojo Nixon was full-tilt, wide-open rock hard, root hog, corner on two wheels + on fire…," his family shared in a statement to Rolling Stone. "Passing after a blazing show, a raging night, closing the bar, taking no prisoners + a good breakfast with bandmates and friends.
"A cardiac event on the Outlaw Country Cruise is about right… & that's just how he did it, Mojo has left the building," his family's statement continued. "Since Elvis is everywhere, we know he was waiting for him in the alley out back. Heaven help us all."

Nixon enjoyed a supremely weird yet singular career after he and his former partner, Skid Roper, scored a bizarro breakthrough in 1987 with their novelty hit "Elvis Is Everywhere." A deranged bit of cowpunk/rockabilliy pastiche that honored (and lightly skewered) the King of Rock and Roll's diehard fans, "Elvis Is Everywhere" and its charming low-budget video became an unexpected MTV staple.
Nixon and Roper recorded six albums together during the Eighties; after they split, Nixon embarked on a career of his own, releasing a bunch of solo albums and a handful of collaborative LPs (including one with the Dead Kennedys' Jello B ...

Re: Obituaries - Gone but not forgotten.
I have never heard of many of the people that show up under this subject. Perhaps many of you haven’t heard of this person. Many in the world know who Roger Bannister was and his historic run. Well Kelvin Kiptum would have also completed a fantastic achievement soon by being the first man to run a marathon under 2 hours. He set a new world marathon record when he won the Chicago Marathon at 2:00:35. The Paris Olympics this summer will surely miss him.
Now fellow countryman Eliud Kipchoge might be the man to win gold and also be the one that is the First..to run 42k/26.2 miles under 2:00 hrs.

Very sad news.

Kelvin Kiptum
Incredible tragedy. I watch the Boston Marathon every year and maybe a couple more. He was projected to become the greatest road warrior in history. And now this. Very sad.

Re: Obituaries - Gone but not forgotten.
I'm sure there are no shortage of Lefty stories. Here's one I have. In the late 70s and early 80s, I was working at a firm in D.C. One of my bosses was a rabid Md. basketball fan, but he hated Lefty. He wrote a letter to the editor of the Washington Post saying that Dean Smith would beat Lefty if Lefty had the NBA all stars and Dean had the Little Sisters of the Poor. Lefty found our firm number (remember phone books?) and called my boss. They went at it on the phone for 45 minutes. I only heard snippets of my boss's end of the conversation which, shall we charitably say, was "spirited" (my boss was no shrinking violet). Someone told that story at my boss's funeral 25 years ago.

The only one who could hold Michael Jordan to under 20 was Dean Smith.
Duke fans had something special for Lefty.

A Maryland icon. A college basketball legend.
Great quote. Very apropos. College basketball was such great fun back in the 1980s and he was one of the biggest reasons why.

Ole Anderson - one of the Founders of the Minnesota Wrecking Crew and Four Horsemen:
https://www.msn.com/en-us/sports/other/ ... 2a25&ei=41
Ole Anderson, a pivotal figure in professional wrestling, has died at the age of 81. Our thoughts are with his family, friends, and fans during this sad time. The Four Horsemen member will be forever remembered for his contributions to the business.
As one of the founding members of the Four Horsemen, alongside Ric Flair, Arn Anderson, Tully Blanchard, and JJ Dillon, Ole left an indelible mark on the industry. Throughout his career, which spanned from 1967 to 1990, he held NWA titles in various promotions and territories.
In 2003, he authored "Inside Out: How Corporate America Destroyed Professional Wrestling," shedding light on the inner workings of the industry. Ole was also never one to hold back on his opinions, and he also held positions outside the ring.

I grew up only a block or two from where he did and passed by the synagogue where his dad worked just about every week. Came across many people who knew him. Each said he was the nicest guy they ever met in their life.

Malachy McCourt, Frank’s brother. Frank was an inspiring writer. Malachy sounds like he was quite a guy. The Irish in my background is from their neck of the woods. Wish I had known both of them.
