Apollo was one of the greats IMO

Steve Lang from April Wine

A total winner…greatest bass player ever..

Mike Illitch, Detroit Legend, owner of Little Caesars, the Tigers, and Red Wings

People can now commence shitting on a dead guy out of some weird desire to put Julian in his place or whatever.

He owned the Tigers in the 80s? Man were they awesome then or what!? That team with Sparky coaching and Alan Trammel that won like the first 98 games of the season was unbelievable.. I think they didn't win the World Series that year but man they were the best…I can't remember the names of the rest of the team right now but they had so many great players…wasn't one of the infielders named Lou something…man I loved Sparky too..

man i got to take some prevagen..

He bought the red wings in he early 80s and the tigers in the early 90s. He was not the owner for those classic 80s teams or the 1984 Bless You Boys team.

Lou Whitaker is who you're thinking of.

When asked about the plans, IOTA co-owner Jane Negrey Inge said she did not expect the renovations to happen ?any time? soon.?

    Over the years we?ve seen a lot of excitement around us. In our first couple years Arlington County sold the public alley behind us to the owners of the Sears Building and we became landlocked! It was disappointing but we worked things out and over the years we?ve maintained a spirit of cooperation with our neighbors and various land-owners. As far as we know changes are coming again with new owners but I don?t think 2832 Wilson will come crashing down on our heads any time real soon. Spring is going [to] spring into gear, and we?ll be glad to re-open the IOTA Back Alley for the season and enjoy good weather, good beer, good friends ? which sounds like a good development plan to me!

I rarely go there, but that's unfortunate.. I guess the new city winery and the "americana" club will take those acts.

George the Animal Steele

damn.  loved him.  I wonder, if wrestling today is as what wrestling was, which was a Hollywood styled showboat spectacle.

Supposedly killsally is having a memorial for The Animal this weekend. You may want to reach out to him.

I wonder where.  In DC, where can one openly chew on ring turnbuckles until the stuffing goes flying all over the place, as you hold candles and flowers?

The Rock's dad, Rocky Johnson, is still kicking.

To be honest, I'm completely amazed that George "The Animal" Steele was still alive.
