US singer-songwriter Isaac Hayes has died at his home in Memphis, Tennessee, at the age of 65.  

Police were called after his wife found him unconscious next to a moving treadmill.

He was taken to hospital, where he was pronounced dead.  Hayes, a flamboyant, deep-voiced performer, won an Oscar for the 1971 hit Theme From Shaft.

I heard it was due to excess sodium intake leading to elevated blood pressure :-/

A musical giant.

The first thing I ever sampled was the intro to Shaft.

R.I.P. :pint:

On a lighter note, good to see you Wilse. Hoos y' doos?

Surely you are not alluding excess excess consumption of spherical salty chocolate confectionery.  :-o

I thought to mash up said tune with "shaft", but that would be poor taste...

One Scientologist down, a million or two more to go.

Yes, I really do dispise them that much.

They're a cult, not a religion.

And part of the reason I hate them so much is the fact that these people, well, people would imply independant thought... these drones hoodwinked me out of thousands, turned me against my family and generally screwed me up for a very very long time.

For me it is not just that they are an insidious, pustulous carbuncle on the face of the earth, but that they conned me into becoming like them for a time.

Speaking of which, a man and a woman came door knocking yesterday. I couldn't get rid of them. Two hours of hearing them criticise my diet and extolling the virtue of their bread-conquers-all world view. Bloody Hovis witnesses....  :pissed:
