    Horror genre was defined by Romero, Hooper, Craven and Carpenter. Now Carpenter is the only one still alive.

     

    Among these four Hooper was considered the "minor" one, but he directed at least three masterpieces (The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Poltergeist, Salem's Lot), which put him among the best horror directors ever. Funnily he was the youngest pick in my 150 names list last year, without a reason, but gut feeling. And while Gillo Dorfles and Barys Kit are still going Romero and Hooper are dead. Ironic.

    Breakfast of Champions, or Goodbye Blue Monday, published in 1973, is the seventh novel by the American author Kurt Vonnegut. Suicide, free will, mental illness, and social and economic cruelty are dealt with throughout the novel. 

    The incidents in the life of Wayne Hoobler, a black resident of Midland City, are frequently contrasted with those of the similarly named Dwayne Hoover, emphasizing the aforementioned impact of race. He attributes the mental illness of Dwayne Hoover and society at large to an abundance of "bad chemicals" in the brain which, when combined with bad ideas, formed "the Yin and Yang of madness." This idea, that humans are no more than machines, is contained within the novel Kilgore Trout gives to Dwayne Hoover.

     

    "We are collections of elementary particles obeying the laws of physics" – Sean Carroll, physicist (Caltech)

     

    "Now Carpenter is the only one still alive. " ??? No one has ever been "alive" because we are collections of elementary particles obeying the laws of physics.

    Collections of elementary particles obeying the laws of physics cannot be "alive".

     

    This is the Frankenstein dilemma: how can a collection of elementary particles obeying the laws of physics be "alive"?

    Is that using Leah or her real name which is Alison?

    That's using Leah. Alison gives number 46 which is considered extremely lucky. She should switch back to Alison ASAP

    She should try Voodoo . I know this one guy who was dying and transfered his soul into a doll.

    She should contact a Vulcan. They have a touch technique that allows a Vulcan to merge his or her mind with the essence of another's mind.

    Thanks for that, Mystic Meg

    You're welcome. I sometimes consult an Indian book called Pandit Sethuramans Science of Fortune (the Ultimate Book on Numerology – Interesting Occult Thriller! International Best Seller!!) OK, I suspect it may be superstitious bs.

    But I'm afraid she' s doomed.

    What does numerology say? Her name number is 40. According to ancient texts, number 40 provides her accumulation of fine jewellery (yeah I can see jewels) and wealth and fame... but lots of problems will come up and the end will be pathetic

    No, I am pretty sure Jack Bruce's death meant that.

    It would be difficult for them to continue without Jack Bruce. Although HeadCat have continued on even after Lemmy's death.  They now have David Vincent from Morbid Angel on bass and vocals. 

    They're still retaining the name of HeadCat, despite suggestions that the band should be called MorbidCat.

    Perhaps Crapton could start a new band and call it Cream? Uriah Sheep has only one original member too.

    Assuming you're either both young or and ignorant.... yes, it takes the lungs about 3-4 years to fully recover from the grime of smoking, and I mean recover fully.
    I just had chest x-rays 18 months ago and the x-ray tech said I had the 'biggest clean lungs' she had seen.  I told her that is interesting seeing as I smoked from age 13-34 (I'm 54).  I won't bore you with the whole conversation but suffice she confirmed the above info.

    SC

    Full recovery... sounds good... too good!  I'm 55, I hold a MSc and I say that's bs. Do you really believe a x-ray tech.

    True especially seeing as it isn't as though he has a good chance of reaching a grand old age.Also if you were having kids you would think after 50 years chainsmoking getting regular scans would be something you would do as well as quit smoking.

    After 50 years chainsmoking, quitting must do wonders.

    I wouldn't be surprised if he died this year. Copd + recent heart surgery means he hasn't got long left.

    Does that mean that there will be no more Cream reunions?

    His chance to shine finally came at Targa Florio as Rodriguez was ill on the race day with the new Porsche 908/03. On the final lap of the race, Kinnunen set a time of 33'36min, breaking the old lap record by 1½ minutes. This is still the fastest ever time recorded for the track.
