Title: Super Mean Captain 76... gone
Post by: Kaos on January 02, 2019, 11:39:55 PM
Two other threads will be deleted and merged into this lamentation over the Day of Death that opened 2019.  

First I heard Super Dave Osborne had performed his last stunt at the age of 76. 

Then I heard Mean Gene Okerlund had done his last backstage interview with the WWE Roid roster.  Gone at 76.  

Within hours I learned that the Captain had loved his last Muskrat.  Darryl Dragon, the keyboarding Captain who made his bones with Tennille left us. In a startling coincidence, he was also 76.  Little known fact.  His wife Toni Tennille  (who was one of the background vocalists on Pink Floyd's The Wall before becoming a small scale pop star) was an Auburn student.  

That's a triple whammy and a terrible way to start the new year.  

So long, Dave.  Always the King of the Road.
