Dragon Ball: Japan manga creator Akira Toriyama dies

Many nerds will feel this one.



I wasn't a huge Dragon Ball Z fan but I did love his artwork in the Dragon Quest games.

RIP Eric Carmen. Go All The Way was one of my favorite power-pop songs of that era.

Yes, meant to post that one. Go All the Way, All By Myself, Hungry Eyes from the Dirty Dancing soundtrack, and he even wrote Almost Paradise for Top Gun.

The Raspberries were a huge influence on subsequent artists, even if they were only together for a brief time (very similar to a band they influenced, Jellyfish).

In my brain, All By Myself was sung by Anne Murray because of how the chorus sounds. That's the only part of the original song I really remember, and that doesn't sound like a dude singing it. It sounds like Anne Murray. I just had my mind totally blown by listening to the original.

I believe Celine Dion also recorded a version of that song, so you might be thinking of that one.

No, that is a very different sound. She sounds nothing like Anne Murray. It is just the way he sings the chorus. That and it probably blends in my mind with "You Needed Me." Just my childhood brain putting things together that don't go togther.

So many classics.

Yeah, she sang ‘corny’ songs and she wouldn’t be successful nowadays but different generation. I mean, you can’t compare Brady to Montana, right?

Anne Murray's version of "Daydream Believer" was what I performed at my elementary talent show in 6th grade. I didn't have The Monkees version.

M. Emmet Walsh died at 88. He was in a ton of movies much better and had more substantive parts, but I'll never forget him for his bit part in Fletch. Moooon Riveeeeer!

You can sum up the state of social media in 2024 by compiling all of the posts gloating over OJs death because he committed the sin of *checks notes* encouraging people to get vaccinated.

RIP Sean Burroughs

I was reading about him last night after seeing a tiktok pop up about his comeback several years ago after being out of baseball and homeless.

I'll always remember him as the kid that dominated the little league world series in '92.
