Season 9 - way after I gave up.  No wonder I don't recognize her

Before rising to fame on the hit AMC show, Mack appeared in several shorts and TV miniseries, including Unusual Suspects (2015), Grayson: Earth One (2015), Not Your Average Joe (2016), and Unscrewed (2016). She amassed dozens of TV and film credits throughout her career.

Mack also appeared on episodes of 9-1-1 in 2019 and Chicago Med in 2022. Her credits spanned multiple commercials for Budweiser, Dr Pepper, Dairy Queen, and Chick-fil-A, among others.

Does Det. John Brown from the First 48 count? Lol.

Not sure if anyone watches that show but he gone

They have a GoFundMe set up to pay for his memorial. When you're a cop, the grift never ends.

If we don't get a cause of death within the next two days, the chances of ever getting one will drop significantly.

The news about Lovell made me look up which of the moon walkers are still alive. I know Lovell wasn’t one of them.

Only 4 of the 12 are still with us. the youngest being 89.  Aldrin, Scott, Duke and Schmitt. It would have been cool to meet one of them.

Yep, not going to be long before we return to the state of no living human having walked on the moon

Will any of them still be alive when then next person steps onto the moon, or will we have skipped whole generations (footnote: we already have) that have not seen a live broadcast of man on the moon. It has been 19,226 days (just over 52 years, 7 months) since man last departed the moon. My generation worshiped the Astronauts like they were rockstars (really before there were rockstars), ticker tape parades in NYC, schools named after them, their travels were covered on live TV by every network (okay there were only 3 networks back then, but still).
Godspeed Captain Lovell

Yep. The younger baby boomer and older genx still recall the reverence given the space program as we were young kids. While I was alive for all but the first moonwalk, sadly I have zero recollection of seeing any moon landings live. My parents have said I did see them. I do recall the joint Apollo-Soyuz mission.

in hindsight we should, have placed a base on the moon to encourage a constant crew. I think now of the ISS, I believe it’s survived because of the sunk cost of the original investments. No president wanted to be the one who saw it completed just to bring it down.

I remember the last launch in 1972.  My aunt woke up my cousin and me really early and we watched it on whatever Corpus Christi tv station was airing it since we lived in that region.  
 

My plan at the time was to grow up and be an astronaut.  I still want to grow up and be an astronaut.  I’m not sure when that will happen.

Supposedly became an artist and has paintings on display in Texas

Musician Bobby Whitlock dies aged 77

Story by Pierra Willix
 

Musician Bobby Whitlock, who co-founded the band Derek and the Dominos, has died aged 77.

The keyboard player and vocalist was best known for forming the blues rock band with Eric Clapton in 1970, however they only ever released one album and broke up after a year.

Whitlock also worked with The Beatles star George Harrison, playing on his 1970 triple album All Things Must Pass.

This week it was announced that he had died. ABC Audio reported Whitlock’s death, quoting manager Carol Kaye as saying: ‘With profound sadness, the family of Bobby Whitlock announces his passing at 1:20am on Aug. 10 after a brief illness. He passed in his home in Texas, surrounded by family.’

Born in Memphis, Tennessee, Whitlock was signed to Stax Records as a teenager, also becoming the first white artist signed to the label.

His first recording credit came in 1967 when he supplied handclaps on Sam & Dave’s single I Thank You.

Between 1965 and 1968, he performed regularly in the Memphis area, playing organ with local soul band the Short Cuts before forming the Counts.

Although there had been plans for him to work on a pop album, he instead decided to leave his home city and join a soul-revue band being forming in Los Angeles – Delaney & Bonnie and Friends, who accompanied the duo Delaney & Bonnie on their tours.

Another member of the group was Clapton, however after disagreements, the band members that had been brought on board quit and instead went on to work on Harrison’s album.

Soon after they formed blues-rock band Derek and the Dominos – releasing their debut and only album Layla and Other Assorted Love Songs in 1970, which has been considered by many as one of the greatest rock albums of all time.

But after the album tanked commercially and failed to chart in the UK – as well as the band being wrapped up in drug consumption and personal conflicts – it fell apart after a year.

After this Whitlock went on to forge a career as a solo artist, releasing his self-titled album in 1972, which also featured all members of his recently dissolved band.

It was followed by Raw Velvet the same year and One of a Kind in 1975, however after this release he withdrew from the music industry.

Whitlock previously said the decision was due to him having ‘problems to deal with’.

Throughout the 1980s and 1990s, Whitlock lived on a farm in Mississippi, raising his children and doing occasional session work.

He also had his own television show with Steve Cropper. In 1999 he resumed his solo career with the album It’s About Time and in 2003 teamed up with his partner and musician CoCo Carmel to release a live album of the Dominos’ songs.

The couple later moved to Austin, Texas, and continued releasing music together.

Other than his wife, Whitlock is also survived by his three children – Ashley Brown, Beau Whitlock and Tim Whitlock Kelly.
