I was actually rooting for him when he beat Ali. One of the ultimate underdogs.

Leon Spinks was always the "villain" vs Ali. Apparently he'd been very sick for a long time. May he Rest in Peace

Stop in the name of love. What a song.
May the universe welcome her.

Chick Corea has passed. 79 yo, a strange form of cancer 
---0---
I "met him" once.
I was entering New Orleans, coming from a big tour of the American Agricultural landscape. As we were coming in, we heard on the radio that Corea would be playing that night at "Tapatini's". SRO.
We went there and he was playing with a new ensemble. Very nice, a nice little locale, and he would play some stuff and then let the band jam. He would go from table to table and sit down with everybody. And I mean everybody. And, HE WOULD DRINK OUR DRINKS
. He did that all night long. In the end, he played very little, and we noticed that. Everybody actually paid for one of his drinks, which was what you had in the table.
But we had a great time. He was very funny, too.
The universe will welcome him gladly.

One of the most controversial political figures in South America, Former Argentinean President Carlos Menem, has died.
There will be a lot of Argentineans crying, and a lot celebrating. He was truly a divisive figure.

Most likely. If you spent your college days in N.O. I would trust you, not my memory.
It was a long time ago. My memory is not suspect; it is shot.

Your guess was close enough for me to know the place you meant
The music and food were 2 of the best things about spending 4 years in NOLA.
So many legends lost in the past year.
