[Borges]

PING!

[linda_22003]

Her Brunhilde is one I still listen to frequently. She deserved a Viking funeral, in the flaming boat out on the water! :)

[MineralMan]

What a great voice! Now, it's gone. A sad day for opera lovers.

[MarkeyD]

Wasn't she Sylvester Stallone's ex-wife :)

[Tax-chick]

A great voice and a fine person. I'm glad she had 87 years!

[Mike Bates]

As long as it's not Brigitte Nielsen.

[1rudeboy]

I guess it's over. [dark humor]

For years now I've had an autographed photo of Nilsson on my desk. The greatest -- then, now and forever.

[Maigret]

But she was never fat!

[A Balrog of Morgoth]

Dang, I figured Uncle Junior or maybe Paulie Walnuts would be the next ones to go.

As long as it's not Brigitte Nielsen.

Not to worry. They're still--I mean she's still--hanging in there.

Soprano Ko.

[Mike Bates]

What acting ability. (Or should that be, "What acting ability?")

[dighton]

A sad day indeed. It's hard to imagine someone that formidable ever going.

[1rudeboy]

I thought that, in the later stages of her career, she became a Wagnerian in the classic sense. [chuckle]

Needless to say, I never saw her perform.

[headstamp]

The earlier days, before FlavaFlave. Now she looks like 2 miles of bad road. Did she have a drug problem or something?

[sgtbono2002]

Is it true some of the music at her wake consists of dragging some cats claws down a blackboard?
