I saw over the weekend that she had entered hospice care. The story said she had a rare form of cancer and it had not been that long ago she was diagnosed.

F*** cancer. It sucks.

Actor Robert Dowdell who played Chip Morton from Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea tv show died today. That only leaves David Hedison, the sole main star of the series left alive. Allan Hunt a minor star on the show with more than 10 episodes credit is also alive, but was not a part of the main stars. He was a recurrent actor of the show.

I am scratching my head on how the hell lil Peep gets mentioned while bigger names get left off. He did nothing for music yet. No album or anything. At least my classmate for Chainsaw Kittens drummed on the critically claimed album back in the 1990s, and been a write up on people wondering why they never got the big break to be famous like Nirvana, Foo fighters, The Smashing Pumpkins, Soundgarden and so forth.
