“The priest who conducted the funeral of Philomena Lynott in Dublin joked that Thin Lizzy icon Phil Lynott would sing “Guess who just got back today” to her.”

Can he be the priest at my funeral too?

Maybe if your son is a dead Irish rockstar, or maybe just remember to ask the priest before your funeral.

Anyway, she seems like a cool lady... lucky son, lucky mom.
Another great picture...

That's so incredibly sad. Strange that the name Saoirse suddenly popped in my head a few days ago.

D.A. Pennebaker, the "Master of Cinema Verite" most famous to me for the film of Bob Dylan’s mythical 1965 tour of England "Don’t Look Back" and Bill Clinton’s 1992 presidential campaign in "The War Room". He was 94.

Russ Conway, 70

Sports Journalist at the Lawrence MA Eagle-Tribune. Conway was hugely responsible for the downfall of Alan Eagleson, NHL Player Agent and founder of the NHLPA. Eagleson came to the spotlight as the agent for Bobby Orr. He later betrayed Orr, not telling him of a Boston offer of a 18% stake in the Bruins, but rather encouraging him to sign with Chicago for a higher salary so he could get a bigger comission. He recklessly spent NHLPA funds, mishandled the players pension fund, and cheated players out of disability payments. Conway's work led Eagleson to be imprisoned, lose his Order of Canada and forced Eagleson to resign from the Hockey Hall of Fame.

If you are interested in this, Conway authored the book Game Misconduct, Alan Eagleson and the Corruption of Hockey
