Sad, Sad Songs. . .

August 9Th, 2008 it was announced that Comedian and Actor Bernie Mac,50 had passed on. His death was brought on by complications with pneumonia. His prior health issues from 2005 were in remission, and his death is said to be completely unrelated. Bernie Mac was a personal favorite of mine. I prefer ed his raw stand-up from Def- comedy jam in the early 90's. He was hilarious and his own unadulterated style of comedy and he will surely be miss. For those who don't have any idea who Bernie Mac was, he was alongside Ashton Kutcher in Guess Who. You can also find him in
Ocean's Eleven, Ocean's Twelve, Ocean's Thirteen and The Bernie Mac Show, Def Comedy Jam.


August 10th. 2008 the day after Bernie Mac's death was announced, we get hit with a double whammy with the announcement of Issac Hayes(65) death. He was found unconscious next to his treadmill. Issac Hayes more popular now for his role on
South Park as Chef, the boy's inappropriate mentor. But his claim to fame was his hit song known as the theme for Shaft. His latest work was on a radio station here in New York.

I'm double posting, because I believe that when we have good artists and entertainers we should acknowledge them in life and in death. R.I.P Bernie Mac and Issac Hayes, and may your art and work continue to live on!
