I was referring to Michael living that long but that is a good joke, Bats.

RIP Joseph Shabalala founding member of Ladysmith Black Mambazo.

In case anyone else went to Spotify for a memorial session and wound up disappointed, here's an FYI that Gang of Four's early albums are back on Spotify.

Oh man

I actually totally does apply to me! Thanks

Daredevil 'Mad' Mike Hughes dies in homemade rocket launch filmed for TV

^ Rostasi !! Great to see you posting here again. You've been absent too long.

It's hard to feel much sympathy for a guy who died trying to prove that the Earth is flat. My first thought was, "At least he died before discovering what a fool he was". But then, if you choose of your own volition to fly in a rocket that you admit "will kill you in a heartbeat", perhaps he'd already realised he was a fool long ago and learned to embrace it.

He was a poorman's Elon Musk. In an interview he compared the risk he takes with blasting off in a rocket similar to that of a boxer going into the ring and risking getting laid out flat (paraphrasing of course). He was always on the level and he'll flat out be missed.

Isn't Elon just a coked out billionaire who tricked everybody into thinking he's a genius because he can throw money at ideas he uses to fuel his vanity? I think he's also a juggalo too.

In the sense that he builds rockets, not in the sense where Elon Musk wants to send people to Mars so they can die from cosmic rays and radiation poisoning.
