Bernie Mac 1957-2008
Specter Death had a very busy weekend.
What can I say about Bernie Mac that hasn't been said already? Probably not much.
I loved his show.
It was so refreshing to see a parent(even if he was the uncle), trying to impart traditional values in this modern world. Usually the show would have Uncle Bernie exasperated over something the kids were doing, but ultimately he would let the kids know how much he loved them.
Honestly, I don't know if I will ever hear anything as funny as him telling the kids "he would beat them till the white meat showed." What can I say I have a sick sense of humor.
Isaac Hayes 1942-2008
Specter Death wasn't done yet, he then went after one of my favorite performers Isaac Hayes.
Earlier this summer, I caught a two part episode of The Rockford Files on the Sleuth channel where Isaac was the guest star. He was an awesome actor. More than that he was a dynamite song writer and producer, winning an Oscar for his "Theme From Shaft". He even co-wrote the hit song "Hold On, I'm Coming" for Sam & Dave.

The saddest news of all is that Isaac leaves a two year old son, in addition to 11 other children.

When we heard about Bernie Mac, my six year old said, "Oh no! That is the guy from the Ocean's movies. How are they going to do them without him?" How indeed?!
Truly a big loss in the entertainment world. What a weekend.
It shocked me about Bernie Mac ... he was so young!
Totally Shocked when I read the paper yesterday about Bernie. So sad!!!!
