RIP Rowdy Roddy Piper. Aged 61

oh no!! I am NOT a fan of wrestling but this guy was the exception for me, I watched him on other things on tv, but forget on what now. He was so young! That is what a heart attack does, no freaking warning. His poor wife and kids.

Nat: thanks for the link, I had to stop and lister to this song again. I was such a part of my childhood. It's one of my moms fave songs and she would always sing along whenever it was on the radio.

Christopher Hyndman, co-host of the afternoon talk show Steven and Chris on CBC-TV, has died. "It is with profound sadness that we share the news Christopher Hyndman died early this morning," said the public broadcaster in a memo distributed to staff Tuesday afternoon. "We extend our deepest sympathies to Steven, family, friends and colleagues; our thoughts are with them all." Hyndman started the design company The Sabados Group with Steven Sabados, his off-screen partner and former television co-host, in 1992. The pair went on to notable success with several programs, including the HGTV shows Chic with Steven and Chris, Design Rivals and Designer Guys. Hyndman often played the joker, while the more straitlaced Sabados played up his calm and pragmatic demeanour. Chuck Thompson, head of public affairs at CBC English Services, said the show has been pulled from the schedule. More to come
