| JEFF CONAWAY'S DEATH AN ACCIDENT... Posted: 02 Oct 2011 10:23 PM PDT  Jeff Conaway (October 5, 1950 – May 27, 2011) Jeff Conaway was an American actor best known for his roles in the movie Grease and the US television series Taxi and Babylon 5. Conaway was featured on the first season of reality series Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew. He died of pneumonia in May 2011. The pneumonia was a result of a drug overdose two weeks earlier. Full Wiki Now after his autopsy results have returned the LA medical examiners have determined that Jeff's death was accidental. They also found multiple causes, including an internal infection, caused his tragic end. Jeff Conaway, 60, was found unconscious at his L.A. home back on May 10 and rushed to an Encino hospital, where he remained in a coma until he passed away May 27. Coroner Craig Harvey says that opiates and other drugs were found in Conaway's system when he entered the hospital, but his office did not perform a toxicology test as part of their four-month investigation. With the actor's extended hospital stay prior to his death, tests would have come back clean anyway...  TMZ reports that septic emboli, aortic valve endocarditis, coronary artery disease, pneumonia and encephalopathy were among the key factors contributing to his death. WOW Dr. Drew Pinksy, who worked with Conaway on "Celerity Rehab," told the public early on that despite Conaway's trouble with prescription drugs, he believed "aspiration with overwhelming pneumonia and sepsis," caused his friend's deteriorating health, not an overdose. Conaway is best known for playing John Travolta's best friend Kenicke in "Grease" as well as the struggling actor Bobby Wheeler on "Taxi."  |
| AN INSPIRING TRIBUTE TO OUR TROOPS/VETERANS: FROM DICK WAGNER Posted: 02 Oct 2011 09:47 PM PDT  Legendary Guitarist Dick Wagner "To all the warriors and veterans, and to all men and women in uniform who continue to serve, I salute you with this song!" Dick Wagner Dick Wagner , legendary guitarist and songwriter for Alice Cooper, Lou Reed, Aerosmith, among many others, performs his soaring guitar driven, epic story of heroism and the universal soldier. JERUSALEM is built on the powerful rock foundation of Wagner's majestic, virtuoso guitars and compelling vocal performances. Dick Wagner shares his personal comments on JERUSALEM : "The old saying that 'War is Hell' is abundantly true for any age in any theater of battle. The familial dynamic of a mother taking pride in her child in uniform, and the warrior going into battle, is a scene repeated through time immemorial. Soldiers fight in the desert, in the mountains, in the trenches, in the jungles, and at sea, standing beside their brothers and sisters, with the pride of serving found in the heart of every soldier. This song speaks to the many and varied battlefields of our shared histories. JERUSALEM is very special to me, as it took years from the moment I conceived the music, until the night I finally found the words and emotion to finish the song. I always loved the musical structure, but it was ten years of reflection on the pride and dedication of the universal soldier, before the narrative of this song was born." I sincerely thank you for listening to my song. Dick Wagner  |

I first saw Johnny at Gallup Park in Ann Arbor in '69. I saw him again at the Ark about 4 years ago, old and infirm. Both times, magnificent and inspiring. John Coltrane 1965 playing "Vigil" with the quartet featuring Elvin Jones on drums. This is just a tiny slice of the vast galaxy of greatness that Trane created. Dennis "Machine Gun" Thompson once told me that when he was starting out, he aspired to be like a combination of Elvin Jones and Keith Moon. (Machine Gun achieved that and much more) Lady GaGa 2009 Paparrazi This is a great song done in a lovely way, live and intimate, just Stef on the piano and singing without processing. She doesn't need the pitch leveler and her producers should ditch all that crap. (you can click off the stupid opening advert after the first few seconds)  |
