Awww ...that's sad...


I loved the Everly Brothers...'wake up little Susie" was one of my favorites, and I remember my brother and I, playing the 45's, on the old record player!!

Boo

No one is immune from this disease. I loved the Everly brothers too, grew up listening to them. Speaking of smoking, over the new years holiday, there was a "twilight Zone Marathon" on and I loved that show...(and outer limits)

This time, I noticed what was taken for granted all those years ago...everyone was smoking!!! Even Rod Serling as he took us beyond our imagination was puffing away!!!

Just saying...
Hugs,
Brenda

Ya know BJ? I watched the same marathon and the only thing I remember is the number of lit cigarettes I saw ALL day!

I just wonder how many of them ended up like us! Jim

BTW: I posted several Everly Bro songs on the OT/Music thread.

Wish my goofy dial up would play songs, my favorite Everly Bros.song is "Dream".
Any one else feel like their throat is swelling just seeing someone smoking on TV?

when I started smoking.58 years ago it was not known at the time the damage it could cause and has caused to many.-----Now as alot of states are going to allow pot smoking because they want the money it will generate---but no one is looking to a few years ahead...when the state has many more people with lung damage due to puffing and puffing---Im sure if any of us could have foreseen the damage it was going to do to us----would we still have smoked--I doubt it -----this site and other sites like it are going to have a lot more members---God help us all

RIP Phil. Least he saw 74.

Hey Cap, What a list! I thought there would be many, and you've proved that for me. Thanks, Jim

Hey Jim, thanks for the Everly Brothers songs. My dad was a big fan and had all of their albums.

I remember when I was a kid, Yul Brenner did a TV ad for quitting smoking just before he died and all he said was, "Don't smoke! Please, don't smoke!"

My dad walked up to me when I was outside of his house in the mid 90's having a smoke and he looked at me and said, "Another nail in your coffin!"

My father quit smoking when I was born so he could spend the money for me instead of buying cigarettes. He never smoked from that day on. He passed peacefully at the age of 84 in his sleep a few years back and it wasn't from COPD.

I can truly feel we are on the brink of containing this disease, but we need to cut the head off of this monster and that starts with the tobacco companies.

Never stop believing...God bless you all.

Karma? I see R.J. Reynolds, Jr and R.J Reynolds, lll.

Do not wish COPD on anyone but you would think those two would have known the truth about the research results instead of what they were putting out for the general public.
