There are mass shootings that don't or hardly make the news everyday, because there are mass shootings nearly everyday.

The world kinda sucks, doesn't it?

Yes there are mass shootings everyday. But people just ignore them. Over 30,000 people killed a year. But if a middle eastern person kills 2 people it is an act of Terror and the sky is falling and the stock market crashes. I just don't get it.

It's odd: the shootings in GA have had more press than the ones in OH. I heard about the OH ones first. My assumption is that there is less news available because they are trying to determine/locate the killer in OH. The fact that all were members of the same family, living in separate residences and that 3 young children survived.

Ohio shooting had a press conference yesterday. It most likely was a drug related shooting. The property where the victims were had grow houses, etc. Very sad.

I love Prince. I'm just so sad he is gone. So young. He was a BIG part of my youth and beyond.

Loved the SNL tribute.

Fred's impersonation of Prince was awesome. I had forgotten how good he was at that.

I still can't believe he was 22 when he first appeared on SNL.

Still very sad.

I wasn't as big a fan of Prince as I am of Bowie or Garry Shandling, but I did think he was great at what he did, and I love several of the big hits - When Doves Cry, Let's Go Crazy... great songs. Yes, too young.

Was that at the multiple locations and it ended up that they were weed growers? For me the Prince stuff on entertainment programs and channels I got (like how MTV actually showed music).

It was great to see the Church Lady on the latest episode of SNL.

Yeah, I was glad to see Church Chat... 19th one since starting in Season 12 (October 1986). Only five years since Dana did it last when he hosted in 2011, had been an eleven year break before then...

Dana Carvey is one of my all-time favorite SNL people, and when I was a teenager, I'd do pretty flawless impressions of his big characters and impressions - Johnny, Perot, Church Lady... My next door neighbor loved when I'd do Dana's George Bush for her...

Oh, yeah! Let me know when you plan that. I want in.

And I don't even like Vegas.*

Even with double full neon, it would be worth the trip to see you do Dana Carvey.

Also, there is air conditioning. I'd live.

I can take Vegas for about 2 days but that's all the patience I have for New York City anymore as well. Everyone should see Vegas at least once. The shows are really spectacular and some of them are more spectacular than the Broadway shows just because of the things they can do with the theaters there. I thought Beatles Love show was the best I have ever seen in that the staging was just spectacular and of course I love the music.

It's just beautiful here in the 80s and 60s at night. We can use the pool in the day but you actually need a little shawl or something in the evening

The theater and what the stage does in Cirque's Ka is truly incredible.

I still haven't seen Beatles Love. Sigh. One of these days...

Reading now, but not watching the videos (at school...). Interesting conversation. I don't really recognize the 1977 dot matrix-cast pics, though I saw a lot of the show when they did a half-hour syndicated package in the 80s... I have (so glad THAT we have) the first five seasons on dvd, but no time to watch them, of course... 'someday'...

Meanwhile, Ghostbusters was a very big deal to 11 year-old me when it came out in 1984, and it starred two great SNL alums, Dan Aykroyd and Bill Murray (Aykroyd also cameoed in Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom that same summer...). The Ghostbusters reboot opens Friday and stars current SNL stars Kate McKinnon and Leslie Jones, alum Kristen Wiig, and recent frequent host Melissa McCarthy (and Cecily Stong in a supporting role, and Bill and Danny make cameos).
