        There are list other songs you may have heard but did not know it was 3 Doors Down. “When I’m Gone” and “Here Without You”.

        Brad Arnold is a Southern dude born in Miss. but raised in Arkansas I believe. If you ever heard him speak, you would not even realize he was the lead singer.

            You were right, though there was also underlying rectal cancer:

                Does the cancer make clot formation more likely?

                  Yes. Unprovoked embolisms should always trigger a search for an underlying cancer.

                      The Great Santini is gone. Robert Duvall at 95. A great career with so many good to great movies.

                      It's interesting how many such reports say the person "died peacefully," often surrounded by family, as we crave the idea of a calm, uplifting departure. You never read "choking violently while others scrambled to jump start his heart," or similar horrific (if often more common) ending. Good thing.

                        I always wanted to run into him at a airport. My opening line would be "Hey Boo" from To Kill a Mockingbird

                            Back in the 70s and 80s Jesse did a lot of good things in Chicago, and he had a very positive message. My Eagle project was done in partnership with his org. I didn't always love "National Figure" Jesse Jackson but he's always had a soft spot in my heart.

                              His coming on SNL after Dr. Suess passed was amazing.
