Jonah Lomu, aged only 40, the first superstar of rugby, died of a cardiac failure after years of battling a rare kidney disease. Here's his most famous match, where he destroyed England with a ferocious display in the Rugby World Cup semi in 1995:

Been watching YouTube vids of the big man on and off, today. To those who don't know rugby, this was typical of him:

One of my favorite actors has departed. I'll always remember Alan Rickman for playing the villain Hans Gruber in Die Hard. Another victim of cancer, he was 69.

What is the age difference between this husband and wife?

Pretty sad all these celebrities dying so young. Just goes to show, money can't buy your health or as they say, your health is your wealth. No doubt drugs and hectic lifestyles don't help their causes much.

There's talk on the street, it sounds so familiar.
Great expectations--everybody's watchin' you.
People you meet they all seem to know you.
Even your old friends treat you like you're somethin' new.

...

Johnny come lately ... the New Kid in Town.
Everybody loves you; so, don't let them down ...


My all time favorite Eagles tune, which was all Glenn Frey. He wrote Peaceful Easy Feelin', Lyin Eyes, Tequila Sunrise, Already Gone, Heartache Tonight and so many more. He co-wrote their breakthrough hit with Jackson Browne, Take It Easy, and co-wrote with Don Henley (who he founded Eagles with) Desperado, Best of my Love, Hotel California, Life in the Fast Lane, The Long Run and many others. May he rest in peace.

Quick edit--I read an article that suggests Frey co-wrote songs that I thought he alone wrote. No matter--they are still great tunes.
