Well, this is something else....
Signe Toly Anderson, the singer of Jefferson Airplane's very first lineup, has died.
Signe passed away on January 28, the same day when the group's guitarist and co-founder Paul Kantner died.
Oddly enough, Anderson was also 74 at the time of her death.
She was the singer before Grace Slick joined the band.

You can see some of their old shows on YT.
This interview is appropriate, considering the upcoming US election. Their banter is amazing.

Didn't know him by name, but I sure remember his acting.
Police Academy and Punky Brewster Star George Gaynes Dead at 98
George Gaynes, the actor who played the absentminded Commandant Eric Lassard in all seven Police Academy films, has died
Gaynes was also known for playing Henry Warnimont on the NBC series Punky Brewster and mob boss as Frank Smith on General Hospital, as well his stage work.
The character actor had starred in 35 films as well as a string of successful television roles, and while he may not have reached superstardom his face is recognized by a generation who have loved his work. He won high praise for his role in Tootsie as the actor with the crush on Dustin Hoffman's female alter ego.

I watch "Mob Wives" - and Big Ang died today, at 55.
(I just watched the episode this morning in which she was diagnosed with lung cancer; she had previously had throat cancer) So turns out there was also brain cancer, and the throat cancer came back.

I am so glad she was able to write the sequel to Pulitzer prize winning novel, To Kill a Mockingbird, before she died.
Go Set a Watchman is the sequel.
Nice she had 89 years on this planet.
@Boo Radley , guess this is where you got your user name

Shwa Girl, she wrote Watchman before Mockingbird. For Mockingbird, she took the character of Scout from Watchman, and told the story from the view of her as a child.
