Literotica Cemetary

Walter "Herbie" Herbert, pioneering band manager & promoter (Santana, Journey, Roxette, Europe), dead at 73
 
Hello there Col. Long time, no see. I have been hoping you weren't dead.

Thanks, Johnny. Not dead yet, but I'm probably mid-way through the 4th quarter. Whitewater kayaking and alpine skiing days are over. Only time these feet leave solid ground is when I turn out the light and tuck 'em in under the sheets.
 
Ado Campeol, Italian restaurateur, inventor of tiramisu, dead at 93
 
Mort Sahl, comedy legend, dead at 94


I don't think I had ever heard of Sahl until he somehow landed a radio talk show in Washington back when I was living there. To put it mildly, he was not really suited for that medium.


Linwood Holton, the first relatively pro-civil rights governor of Virginia in the 20th Century (in an era when Republicans were the racial moderates in the Old Dominion), has died at 98. He was more recently in the news as the father-in-law of Tim Kaine. Holton was a native of Big Stone Gap, which is about as remote as it sounds.
