A Bad Day for "Lems"

                                                      Born to lose, lived to win.

It was always going to happen and, to be honest, I thought it would have happened a lot sooner.
Lemmy Kilmister passed away in his home yesterday, age 70.
Lemmy's people have stated the cause of death was an aggressive cancer but I prefer to believe that he died from "Being Lemmy", which isn't such a bad way to go out.
There will be any number of links to classic and wholly appropriate Motorhead songs and videos, so here's something a little different and, I think, the last best thing ol' Lem did.

PROBOT Shake Your Blood


Meanwhile, an ocean away...

Meadowlark Lemon, long-serving member of the world-famous Harlem Globetrotters died yesterday, as well, age 83.  Equal parts athlete and entertainer, Lemon played over 16,000 games with The Globetrotters and thousands more with spin-off teams such as The Bucketeers and The Shooting Stars. Basketball Hall of Famer Wilt Chamberlain considered Lemon the best basketball player of all time, even though Lemon had never played in The NBA and had a short, undistinguished College career.  Lemon became an ordained minister in 1986, working within his own Meadowlark Lemon Ministries.
