Pride almost fell me. Three Stars Died maybe more. One Woman,two men all Shining Stars. I beat my own bias. Here's to all who've also won.

by Joseph Bolden Issack Hayes/Bernie Mac Are What? Well the above is how it hit me as in a delayed dream sequence. First I though it a sick joke then as I hear over and over on the news, E.T. (I don’t consider Entertainment Television) as News. Mr. Issace Hayes, old Truck Turner, who on the” Rockford Files” called the main character Mr. James Garner played on the convict-turned detective series (RockFish) For nearly a year I really thought the show was called or renamed RockFish. That was how strong Issac Hayes's Character was to me. In 1971 Grammy winner for the music sound track of “Shaft” in his home, unconscious next to his treadmill died soon after. Police ruled out foul play. I don’t think he’ll be remembered meerly as “Chef” on “South Park” way too much musical, political, movie air time for that. Bernie Mac, dead-on real street cred serious with a series to boot and movies. One of the Kings Of Comedy and in a few action films died of complications due to pneumonia Saturday in a Chicago-area Hospital. Mr. Mac was 50 and Mr. Hayes 69 still relatively young, much too young to die. Yes, there's another previous death before these two shining stars. Earlier, Tuesday, July 22, Ms. Estelle, Getty died at 84 In Los Angeles. Star of stage, and screen best known as Ms. Bea Arthur’s satirical, quick, witted, and quipping Mother Sophia on” Golden Girls”The tv sit com from 1985 to 1992. Ms. Getty is surrounded by family and friends before her demise. It is the way of life I guess that the so called three happens or are conditioned to see it? I like many others didn’t want to place Ms. Getty along with Mac and Hayes. Yes, I admit I didn’t hear about Ms. Getty until later and waited for another of my people to fall replacing Ms. Getty but I’d be wrong. All three were in their fields were great entertainers and that’s the way of it except… While Hayes is alone and Mac with loved ones and friends. It tells me to keep your dear friends close, family closer and do as much good as you can before departing this fragile existence. For though reincarnation’s return may be possible, just in case be the best person you can be because you just may see all of 'em again someday. It’s always best to have more good, dear friends than bad, revenge driven enemies. Send comments to ask/tell Joe(I don’t know which) @poormagazine.com or |
