Oh wow, sad news. I think he was working on a new album or had recently released one. He was also the original vocalist for RTZ before Bad Delp joined.

I enjoy a child's video we have by Pete Seeger called the Foolish Frog. It's on a Scholastic DVD. I'll have to dig it out and watch it again my kids love it too.

Yeah I heard about that! Crazy. Do they know how he died yet? I didn't see anything in the article I read.

by oldschooldoom Mon Feb 03, 2014 12:58 pm

He struggled with addiction. One account I read said that he was found with a needle still in his arm.

Oh gosh, how tragic.

I saw that news last night. Man that guy had the picados!

Personal trivia. There's a gas station in my town that plays his music on the speakers at the pumps all night long every night. Sometimes I got very early in the morning to get gas, like 4 or 5 AM and the are no other cars on the road, but there is his energetic music playing through the silence. I keep wanting to look around to see where the party is. It's almost eerie.

Comedian David Brenner dies

Westboro Baptist Church founder Fred Phelps, Sr., has died. He was 84.

Since 1991, the church has held anti-gay demonstrations that would eventually include picketing the funerals of soldiers and praying for the death of more.

Despite its "Baptist" name, Westboro is not affiliated with any larger church denomination. Most Christians criticize the congregation's harsh anti-gay rhetoric and penchant for pursuing the limelight at inappropriate moments.

According to the church's website, it has picketed more than 53,000 events, ranging from Lady Gaga concerts to funerals for slain U.S. soldiers. Typically, a dozen or so family members -- including small children -- brandish signs that say "God Hates Fags" and "Thank God for Dead Soldiers."

Westboro's website keeps a running tally of "people whom God has cast into hell since you loaded this page."
