Karen Carpeneter died 42 years ago.
Today is February 4th, 2025. So today marks 42 years since Karen Carpenter passed away. This is a sad time, but a very good time to listen to her most beautiful voice and look at some of your favorite pictures of Karen. Personally, I look at Karen's eyes, they melt my heart!
@unclewilbur I envy you tremendously. I am still waiting for my coffee with Paul McCartney. A college classmate of mine had a coffee with Yoko Ono. As in - she bought a property, wanted to change the garden, looked for a landscape architect, happened to find him, he came over, surveyed the land, and she said: would you like to come in for a coffee? And he doesn't even care for the Beatles. Freaking unbelievable!

The best I’ve got to tell about is meeting a Lucinda Williams on four occasions, and the first time I was unfortunately coming off like Dennis Hopper in Apocalypse Now when he was going off on how great Marlon Brando was. And to my dismay, the last time or maybe the second to the last time that I met her, like it was at least a couple of years if not more later, she remembered me from the first time. I was thinking, "Of all the things I’d rather were not remembered about me." |
@unclewilbur that's what I thought too. Although I have a degree, I am dumb as a rock when it comes to plants. @immatthewj oh you had to show off. At least I made bad first impressions on zero celebrities |
Well, @grislybutter , if nothing else, I guess I was able to accomplish that during the days of which I was trying to party like a rock star. |
