I saw Gore Vidal at a book festival 6 years ago. He was in a wheelchair and not looking well. I'm surprised he lived until this summer.

Anyway, check out this list of musician deaths.

^ That`s a long, sad list with a rather clumsy religious message.

I was planning to post about the demise of Scott McKenzie, but Psy-Fi beat me to it. Here`s a link with some more details, but one thing is immediately obvious; if you sing about love and flower-power, you live longer !

BBC News - Scott McKenzie, singer of flower power pop, dies aged 73

Director Tony Scott, brother of Ridley Scott, died yesterday after jumping off a bridge in California. Certainly it was a suicide and I am sad that he took his own life. RIP.

I read about this earlier this morning. I feel bad for his kids and I wonder why he did it. He certainly had a life most people would envy.

The latest is he was dealing with in-operable brain cancer. Left many suicide notes in his car before jumping. His brother flew out from England this morning.

Scott McKenzie (born Philip Wallach Blondheim, January 10, 1939 – August 18, 2012) best known for his 1967 hit single and generational anthem, "San Francisco (Be Sure to Wear Flowers in Your Hair)".
The song, by John Phillips of The Mamas & the Papas, was written and released in 1967 to promote the Monterey Pop Festival.
R.I.P.

As with most suicide brought on by depression and ill mental health, chances are that we will never know.

North Shields, in North Tyneside, is up in my neck of the woods. It hasn't really produced a whole hell of a lot, pop culture wise. Tony Scott is a big part of a very small legacy. I may have to watch True Romance in memorial.

A former St. Louis Volleyball player Megan Boken died of a homocide. The suspect is likely to be a black male.

You think he only likes Franco and Pepe Kalle but when you find out that he hears other artists, you are shock. Girls are the sexy thing that God created. Important to notice FPK.
