Condolences to the families of the above.

Read of several recent passings of some guys who were in Metal bands, etc. I didn't recognize their names but since many of you here are fond of Metal music, thought I'd make a post about it here.

Eddie Norton, 62, (friend of "Black Sabbath" band ).

Condolences to Families and Friends of the above.

29 is young, and I see he was in a car accident. I've never heard of Behold: The Monolith, but that's sad that they lost a band member like this.

Actor James Gandolfini (of "The Sopranos") and author Vince Flynn (famous for his Mitch Rapp thrillers) died on the same day last week. Both gone too soon, if you ask me.

Yeah, I read about Gandolfini's death. Very sad. I felt especially bad for his son who I read was on the trip with his father when he died. He was a good actor. May he R.I.P.
