Is this the follow-up song for Midnight Oil?

https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/articles/bobby-sherman-60s-teen-idol-181804714.html Bobby Sherman, the singer and actor whose boyish good looks and sweet if unshowy vocals made him a teen idol in the overlapping worlds of television and pop music in the late 1960s and early 1970s, has died. He was 81. His death was announced Tuesday by wife Brigitte Poublon Sherman via friend John Stamos' social media. “It is with the heaviest heart that I share the passing of my beloved husband, Bobby Sherman," she wrote. "Bobby left this world holding my hand — just as he held up our life with love, courage, and unwavering grace through all 29 beautiful years of marriage. I was his Cinderella, and he was my prince charming. Even in his final days, he stayed strong for me. That’s who Bobby was — brave, gentle, and full of light." No cause of death was given, nor was a specific date of death. A textbook heartthrob of the shaggy-haired SoCal variety, Sherman put four singles in the Top 10 of Billboard’s Hot 100 in less than a year, starting with “Little Woman,” which peaked at No. 3 in October 1969; after that came “La La La (If I Had You),” which got to No. 9 in January 1970, “Easy Come, Easy Go,” which hit the same position three months later, and “Julie, Do Ya Love Me,” which reached No. 5 in September 1970. The cheerful, catchy tunes — each a certified gold-seller — helped define the bubblegum pop sound that also encompassed the Archies, Tommy Roe and the Ohio Express. At the same time that he was scaling the charts, Sherman starred on ABC’s “Here Come the Brides,” a western comedy series set shortly after the Civil War in which he played one of the owners of a family logging business determined to find love interests for the company’s lumberjacks. The multimedia exposure drew the adoration of the era’s teenyboppers, who raced to spend their allowance money on T-shirts, lunch boxes and magazines featuring the face of Bubblegum Bobby, as he was known. “I could have sang ‘Auld Lang Syne’ and they would have bought it,” he said of his rabid fanbase in a 1989 interview with The Times. “My audience was so young and impressionable, they would buy everything associated with Bobby Sherman.” Robert Cabot Sherman Jr. was born July 22, 1943, in Santa Monica and grew up in Van Nuys, where he played football at Birmingham High School. When he was a sophomore at Pierce College, Sherman went to a Hollywood party celebrating the premiere of 1965’s “The Greatest Story Ever Told” and ended up singing with a band that included several guys he’d gone to high school with; among the party’s guests were Natalie Wood, Sal Mineo and Jane Fonda, whose praise led to a successful audition for Sherman to be a singer on the TV variety show “Shindig!” In 1967, Sherman made a cameo on “The Monkees” as a teen idol named Frankie Catalina — a not-so-veiled reference to the real-life Frankie Avalon — and in 1971 he appeared in an episode of “The Partridge Family” that set up a short-lived spin-off series called “Getting Together” in which Sherman played a songwriter. Sherman’s musical career cooled about as quickly as it had heated up. “Together Again,” the last of his 10 entries on the Hot 100, topped out at No. 91 in February 1972. “It was inevitable,” he told The Times, blaming the “oversaturation” of the bubblegum market. He continued acting in TV shows including “The Mod Squad” and “The Love Boat” but later found a second life in public service in the 1980s and ’90s, serving as a volunteer paramedic and teaching first aid to recruits at the Los Angeles Police Department Academy. Sherman became a technical reserve officer for the LAPD and a reserve deputy sheriff for the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department. He published a memoir, “Still Remembering You,” in 1996 and toured in 1998 with Peter Noone of Herman’s Hermits and the Monkees’ Davy Jones. In 1993, he told The Times about a recent ride-along he'd been on with fire department medics as they responded to a call in Northridge. "We were working on a hemorrhaging woman who had passed out,” Sherman said. “Her husband kept staring at me. Finally he said, ‘Look, honey, it’s Bobby Sherman!’” The woman came to, Sherman recalled, and "said, ‘Oh great, I must look a mess!’ I told her not to worry, she looked fine.” Wife Brigitte wrote on Tuesday that as Bobby rested, she "read him fan letters from all over the world — words of love and gratitude that lifted his spirits and reminded him of how deeply he was cherished. He soaked up every word with that familiar sparkle in his eye. And yes, he still found time to crack well-timed jokes — Bobby had a wonderful, wicked sense of humor. It never left him. He could light up a room with a look, a quip, or one of his classic, one-liners. She added, "He lived with integrity, gave without hesitation, and loved with his whole heart. And though our family feels his loss profoundly, we also feel the warmth of his legacy — his voice, his laughter, his music, his mission. Thank you to every fan who ever sang along, who ever wrote a letter, who ever sent love his way. He felt it." In addition to his wife, Sherman is survived by sons Tyler and Christopher and six grandchildren.

Definitely not the first time...

Definitely don't take him out for drinks... Alcohol won't solve anything and could easily make him more depressed and suicidal...

Honestly, I couldn't care less...

Porche?

https://www.tmz.com/2025/06/20/gailard-sartain-dead-hee-haw-tulsa-oklahoma/ Gailard Sartain -- the beloved Southern character actor from "Hee Haw," "Mississippi Burning," and "Fried Green Tomatoes" -- has died at 78, TMZ has confirmed. Teresa Knox, CEO of The Church Studio in Tulsa, Oklahoma, tells TMZ Gailard passed away Tuesday after a long decline in health. No official cause of death has been revealed. The Church Studio -- where Sartain's wife Mary Jo volunteered -- is remembering him as "an extraordinary actor, artist, and comedian." Victoria Hallman, who played Miss Honeydew on the TV show "Hee Haw," tells TMZ Gailard was like a big brother to her and made everyone on set laugh so hard, they had to redo takes. She added, "I knew he wasn't in good health and hadn't been for a while. We always fool ourselves that people will hang on. I wasn't expecting to find out in the wee hours of the morning." Gailard got his start in the early '70s as the wild-eyed Dr. Mazeppa Pompazoidi on the local late-night sketch show "Uncanny Film Festival and Camp Meeting," which aired on KOTV in Tulsa, Oklahoma. He joined the comedy variety show "Hee Haw" in '72 -- and never looked back, racking up over 60 film and TV credits, including three 'Ernest' movies, "The Outsiders," and "The Buddy Holly Story." He was 78. RIP

Jesus... Trump just needs to let this go... I know he won't, because his ego won't let him, but he needs to...

Good luck Jerry... I hope you have really good insurance...

My last job was use it or lose it and they didn't have this buy back option... It sucked, but the last three weeks of the year I took off...

Sony’s 28 Years Later gobbled up $5.8M in previews Thursday night. That’s an excellent preview number for a horror movie, especially in these times, besting the Thursday nights of Final Destination Bloodlines ($5.5M), Sinners ($4.7M), pre-Covid’s A Quiet Place ($4.3M) and even post-Covid’s Scream VI ($5.7M).

https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/45539931/buss-family-agrees-sell-lakers-mark-walter-sources-say The Buss family has entered an agreement to sell majority ownership of the Los Angeles Lakers to Mark Walter, the CEO of diversified holding company TWG Global, sources told ESPN. Jeanie Buss will continue to serve in her role as Lakers governor, sources said. Walter has interests in multiple professional sports organizations, including the Los Angeles Dodgers, Los Angeles Sparks, the Billie Jean Cup, Cadillac Formula 1 team and the Professional Women's Hockey League. The Lakers have been owned by the Buss family since 1979, when Jerry Buss purchased the franchise from Jack Kent Cooke in a $67.5 million transaction that also included the Los Angeles Kings and the Los Angeles Forum. The Lakers passed to Buss' children when he died in 2013, and his daughter Jeanie has served as the Lakers' governor since. Walter has been a stakeholder in the Lakers since 2021, when he also received a right of first refusal on the majority share of the team.
