The grim reaper has been working overtime on celebrities
lately. 

Oh, no!  I loved her.  I last saw her sing, solo, in a club about 15 years ago.  She was still a wonderful singer.

If I Had a Hammer remains one of my all-time favs.

 Mary Travers passed away today in Danbury, Ct as a result of treatment for leukemia. P,P & M are the voice of my generation, from Puff the Magic Dragon, to Bring me a Hammer, Great Mandella and this song..

 Sweet Survivor
You have asked me why the days fly by so quickly,
And why each one feels no different from the last.
And you say that you are fearful of the future,
And you have grown suspicious of the past.

And you wonder if the dreams we shared together
Have abandoned us, or we abandoned them.
And you cast about and try to find new meaning,
So that you can feel that closeness one again.

Carry on my sweet survivor,
Carry on my lonely friend.
Don't give up on the dream,
And don't you let it end.

Carry on my sweet survivor,
Though you know that something's gone,
For everything that matters,
Carry on.

You remember when you felt each person mattered,
That we all had to care, or all was lost.
But now you see believers turned to cynics,
And you wonder was the struggle worth the cost.

And you see someone too young to know the difference,
And the veil of isolation in their eyes.
And inside you know you've got to leave them something,
Or the hope for something better slowly dies.

Carry on my sweet survivor,
Carry on my lonely friend.
Don't give up on the dream,
And don't you let it end.

Carry on my sweet survivor,
Though you know that something's gone,
For everything that matters,
Carry on.

Carry on my sweet survivor,
You've carried it so long,
So it may come again,
Carry on.

Carry on, carry on.

RIP We shall Carry On, and generations will remember you. [/][/]

all this time I thought HENRY GIBSON was in his 70 when he did laugh in.

A sad day indeed.  Green scales fall like rain.

ACORN just died - house and senate voted to fully defund the organization........

I am truly saddened - icons of the 60s'.

RIP, Mary Travers

SitasMom, you start what is presumably a memoriam thread and then YOU introduce politics about ACORN to a thread that YOU started.
