This made me a little sad when i heard it this morning.  Cool Hand Luke is one of my fave movies. Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid is another great one too.

Judging people who lose a battle with depression is a selfish act. [/b]

Thanks for posting this link. I took a class about 12 years ago on this very subject with Kay Redfield Jamison while I was at Johns Hopkins. Very fascinating subject. She had all of these world class experts come in to lecture like Norman Rosenthal, the guy who coined the term 'seasonal affective disorder'. Since then, it has given me a whole new understanding of people. Also, seasonal issues beyond the obvious holiday blues kinds of depression and related stressors.

Lifted from another board:
 
 "According to the Motown Alumni Association newsletter...
 
 Levi Stubbs Former Lead Vocalist of the Four Tops Dead at 70
 
 [The] most profound lead vocalist in American history, [Stubbs] died this morning at his Detroit home sources have confirmed. Stubbs, who suffered a series of strokes and other illnesses, had been sick for a number of years prior to today's news. It was most visible during the televised "50 year anniversary Celebration of the Four Tops" broadcast a few years ago."

Maybe the part about 'She takes off The Four Tops tape' shoulda clued you in.

Couldn't decipher that lyric, or any other from the song, for that matter.
