So shocking and sad, especially since their son allegedly did it. Like so many, I was introduced to Rob Reiner through his role as Mike "Meathead" Stivic on All In The Family. And he directed and had a small acting role in one of my favorite films of all time, This Is Spinal Tap.

Bernie Toorish, 94, last surviving original member of The Four Lads vocal group, who had hits including "MomentsTo Remember", "No, Not Much", et al:

I had a brother-in-law I didn't care for very much. He liked The Four Lads. I found a greatest hits cassette of theirs in a dollar store that I bought for the princely sum of $1.00. It had no cutout hole or slit. I gave it to the jerk for a Christmas present. He really liked it and thanked me. He never learned how much I spent on it

Sad about Rob Reiner. The whole thing feels very "America in 2025" (people behaving like feral animals)

I went over his filmography and saw he made the 1994 flop North, considered one of the worst films ever. It's one of those films I saw on TV as a little kid who just landed in Canada and had no idea what was going on. I think I liked it, you see eskimos there and Bruce Willis and all sorts of stuff. What's not to like?

Heard a lot on German radio, for me often one of the better voices and guitars.

RIP, Chris. I've got to say, his "Driving Home For Christmas" is a lot easier on the ears thatn Morona Carey's "All I Want For Christmas Is You."

Is it my imagination, or have there been a lot more musician deaths in 2025 than other years in the recent past? It seems that way.
