I’ve heard of some of these people, but I see that Rush is missing! What idiots they are at CBS! They now lost the remaining 1% of their audience who may be conservative.

Leaving off Rush Limbaugh is beyond words.

Noted that more of the deceased were writers, musicians, inventors....but the most notable death was truth and open minded inquisitiveness in the media.

For me it was Lloyd Price. Just broke my heart.
Jim Weatherly was a shock, surprising that Sue Thompson made it to 96. Great singers B.J. Thomas, Jay Black and Joe Simon.

Well it was recent, so you could be excused if you missed it.
