Musician, Isaac Hayes passed away today at the age of 65. Isaac was found by his wife, unresponsive as he lay near his treadmill. No cause of death has been issued yet. Isaac Hays was the recipient of Grammys and an Oscar for his music and was the voice of Chief on South Park. Rest in peace, Isaac.*
There's an interesting little bio about Haye's HERE if you're interested. It gives a personal look at his rise from grinding poverty to today and explains why he campaigned so hard to bring literacy to a generation.

I remember buying the 45 RPM record of "The Men", in 1972.
It was the theme song of the TV show, "The Men", on ABC.
It was stereo...one of the first stereo 45s, I think.
It was written and performed by Isaac Hayes.
It was cool.

Ok, I hate this ...more sad news about a very cool black entertainer dying. This has got to stop. "3's" is a scary thought! But it does seem to happen like that. Who is next? BTW-He & Bernie Mac just made a movie together and it has not been released yet. Is it called "Soul Men"? I think it is. Anyway, it will be sad to see both of them in a movie. How weird is that? Bernie has 3 or 4 movies yet to be released. The man was always working. I will miss Bernie. He made us laugh and Isaac was ultra cool. Sad news. :(
Beam him up Xenu!!
Hate me all you want Scientologists and Scientology suck.
you know drina, the first thought i had when i heard he had passed was i wondered how many scientologists were in his house when it happened!!!
i remember when he had his stroke and the scientologists were the ones who quit southpark for him....
scientology is an evil cult!!

Samuel L. Jackson is the MAN!!!! Haha! He even made a movie by thet Title! I love the guy! He better not die. Also another guy I love is going to be appearing on CSI Las Vegas this fall. He played Ike Turner...Laurence Fishburn. Now lets keep Morgan Freeman alive! What the hell is going on? STOP IT! NOW! MissTia, I am gonna have to Google that movie. It will be great. What a sad weekend in entertainment. But you know, I barely saw anything at all about this on TV and I was watching for it. Kinda made me mad. You gotta get your news online till the Olympics are over, I guess!
MissTia: We gotta wait till Nov 14to see "Soul Men". A great cast! It sounds funny and has alot of music in it. My kind of movie. I can't wait! I bet the rest of the cast IS wondering whats up! Jeez...
