Really good actor. Had roles in Perry Mason, The Twilight Zone and Alfred Hitchcock Presents before hitting the big screen. Really gained popularity in '69 with Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. His best work might have been "An Unfinished Life". Was so many ladies heart throb back in the day that they named a dessert (The next best thing to Robert Redford) after him. RIP Robert.

Slick Leonard's wife Nancy died. Slick and Nancy literally saved the Pacers back in the day. She was equally responsible for doing that with Slick or maybe even more so. She came up with the idea for the telethon and the rest is history. RIP

Crazy to think a telethon was held to save a sports franchise. Nancy continued to attend games after Slick passed. RIP Nancy.

Don't want this to turn political. I did respect a good bit of his ability to go up in public and debate with others, especially those who disagreed, even hated him. Didn't really agree with much of his political values, but he seemed like a nice person and a good family man.

No one deserves to be shot in cold blood, standing up in public and freely speaking your beliefs. And a lot of the responses on social media following him being shot and the announcement of his death...I've lost so much faith in humanity reading those. It's truly evil and vile shit.

To those of you who said you disagreed with Charlie Kirk on most things. , I encourage you to listen uncut what he had to say. You can just google his speeches. He was one of the most profoundly Christian men I had ever heard talk. He loved God more than anything, and in a world where God seems to be disappearing.

He is One of one in our world. The world is a lesser place because of his loss. There will probably never be another Charlie Kirk in our lifetime.

But please listen to his speeches and podcasts. If you are a faithful person, you will change your mind about Charlie.

RIP Charlie Kirk.

Me and my buddies went to a lot of Pacer games in the Coliseum. Those teams were legit NBA quality.

Loved the red white and blue basketball. Also the 3 point line. Tickets were cheap probably why we went to see them play the LA Stars and not the Lakers. Bill Keller short stubby white guy who had a good shot and shot it from his chest.

Brian Wilson should have got more attention than RR. He was in the A list but not for his acting.

Sometimes people live too long. Die young and it impacts people more. No doubt my kids (18 and 22) never heard of either of them.

She always goes out of her way to confuse the Beatles & Beach Boys just to jerk my chain. "They sound EXACTLY the same, dad!" just to watch that vein in my neck pop out. LOL

In college I played four consecutive Beatles songs, one sung by each of the fellas, and my roommate says, "Can we change the music? I'm tired of this guy's voice." Then I put on Pink Floyd and hear, "This guy sings too many slow songs."

My 14-year-old probably didn't know Brian's name, but she's a huge Beach Boys fan. She also loves the Beatles and says they're very popular with her friends.

Turn onto Billy to get her fully up to speed. Devo next.

I was listening to Floyd in the living room when he walked in, and without a look or a word, turned off the stereo and turned on the TV. After a bit of remote control back-and-forth, I grabbed him by the throat and bloodied his face. He ran away crying.

In my defense, he was twice my size and a douche. Oddly, we didn't sign another lease together.

Had front row seats when CBS broadcasted the playoff game against the Stars.

I don't remember what year it was but it was right after Market Square opened. My wife and I went to MSA to get some tickets. We looked down at the floor and Keller was shooting threes. He hit something like 25 in a row before missing. When he saw us watching, he stopped and came u to talk to us. Nice guy as you would expect.
