As a fan of the series "Chuck", wasn't that Earth, Wind, Fire and Rain?
Yeah, didn’t understand any of that.

Cardinal George Pell. Not bad.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

Jeff Beck, virtuoso rock guitarist, dies at 78 (msn.com)
A statement on his website said that Mr. Beck died “after suddenly contracting bacterial meningitis.” Additional details were not immediately available.
Mr. Beck was widely considered one of the greatest guitarists in history, and leaped between genres while recording albums that encompassed hard rock, jazz fusion, the blues and electronic music.

Saw earlier that she had been rushed to the hospital. Cardiac arrest, they are saying, just like her father just 12 years older than he was.
