Rocker, Greg Kihn, passed away on August 13 from complications of Alzheimer's. He was 75. He had a couple of big hits in the 80's ("The Breakup Song," "Jeopardy") and he was known for a couple of other songs in the San Francisco Bay Area during the time (1996-2012) he was a DJ on KUFX (KFOX) 98.5 FM. I used to listen to him a lot. He had great stories and he would occasionally open up his "personal stash" of bootlegs he picked up across his career - live recordings of groups, like the Stones and Journey, he opened for or appeared with. Unlike some artists who refused to let Weird Al Yankovic spoof their hit songs, Kihn was all for it ("I Lost on Jeopardy," my favorite of Yankovic's parodies).

He seemed like a regular guy who appreciated his fame but was also happy to move on to other things (DJ, novelist).

Talk show host Phil Donahue who was big in the 1970s to 90s, has died at 88.

He tried to make a comeback on MSNBC in the early 2000s but his show was cancelled after 1 year.

Yeah, we remember that Donahue was huge in his day, but to someone in their 30's, he's like Jack Paar to me. Donahue started the daytime talk show trend that continues today. Back in the 60's and 70's, daytime was dominated by game shows and soap operas, but talk shows slowly began replacing them (just a few soaps and no afternoon game shows on the major networks now).
