I just saw a headline on my phone that says she is still alive?
 
Aha - her boyfriend was in the middle of an interview with Inside Edition at the time.

It appears that Tanya Roberts is back to being dead.

After the boyfriend told the doctors earlier "she died in my arms", and it turned out to be incorrect, my suspicious mind wondered if he was a beneficiary somehow. A Leon Lett moment? Weird.
 
In the world of country music:
Paul English(drummer for Willie Nelson) will no longer smoke weed with Willie.
Harold Reid (Statler brothers) is counting flowers on heaven's walls.
Charley Pride will no longer need to kiss a metaphorical angel. He's with the real ones.
The devil went down to Georgia the other day but Charlie Daniels had already left or a better place.
Billy Jo Shaver also left Georgia on a fast train to God knows where.
Jerry Jeff Walker is walking the streets of gold with his redneck mother.
Johnny Bush, perennial Texas favorite, is now with Jim, Jack, and Rose.

Phil Spector dies in jail.

Grammy-winning producer and convicted murderer Phil Spector dies | CNN

Songwriter and convicted murderer Phil Spector died of natural causes on Saturday, according to a statement released by California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation.
www.cnn.com www.cnn.com

Great early '60s career but faded into a downward spiral that he could never get out of; I hated what he did with The Beatles and John Lennon. Bottom line is he is a murderer and deserved to die the way he did.

Absolutely creepy guy. He was a musical genius, but every bit the nut job. Yeah, Brian Wilson is also a musical genius who happens to be completely crazy, but, at least he was harmless. Spector was a dangerous nut job that tormented his family and business associates. What he did to Ronnie was inhuman and he abused their kids as well.

That said, I like just about everything he did musically. I do like more raw boned stuff, but every once and a while the big sound appeals to me. I am a big Ramones fan and love their minimalist stuff, but I have to admit that I like the pop songs on the End of the Century album that Spector produced.
