Isaac Hayes, RIP
Two of my favorite entertainers gone in two days, Bernie Mac and now Isaac Hayes. They say this stuff happens in threes. I hope not.
From the Associated Press:
Isaac Hayes, the baldheaded, baritone-voiced soul crooner who laid the groundwork for disco and whose "Theme From Shaft" won both Academy and Grammy awards, died Sunday afternoon after he collapsed near a treadmill, authorities said. He was 65.

I say goodbye reluctantly to these two wonderful talents. Bright spots, bright minds, founts of expression and comfort to a nation in pain. Bernie Mac gone too soon. He was a real straight shooter with so much more left to do.
Did Isacc Hayes know anything about the Rockefeller/Chichester saga?
RIP.
