He finally had to “fold em”.

Thanks for all the years of fine music and entertainment on the screen.

Enjoyed the guy's music and his film roles.

These people that pass away today, they chip away at the memories
from last century that I hold dear.

Sorry to see him go.

RIP Kenny Rogers...

I was in Army flight school enroute to Vietnam & when the shuttle brought us back from the airfield, everyone would sing,

“It wasn’t me who started that old crazy Asian war,
“But I was proud to go and do my patriotic chore...”

And fifty years ago, we did. Kenny is now missed.

During the 90s I worked across the street from one. Ate there nearly every day. $4.99 was half a roasted chicken (light or dark meat, dark was better), 2 sides (his mac and cheese was superb), and a perfect hot corn muffin (with actual corn).

The chicken was liberally basted with a cracked peppercorn marinade, and then turned slowly on a flame-broiling rotisserie that somehow managed not to burn the peppercorns.

The chicken would cut with a fork, and even had a thin smoke ring on the meat. Perfection.

You know I was just wondering how many of Kenny Roger’s songs were “Nam Songs” played on AFN as our Atlanta DJ Gary McKee used to call them. I suspect there were a few others.

was it “Kenny Rodgers and the First Edition” or am I making that up?

You are not making it up, sir!

I was there (Late Sixties, I recall).

You have an amazing memory!

Indeed, RIP. He was one of my Mom’s favorites. Now he can sing to her directly, miss you Mom!
