    Loretta Swit, Emmy-winner who played Houlihan on M.A.S.H. dies at 87

    Loretta Swit, Emmy-winner who played Houlihan on M.A.S.H. dies at 87

    Swit appeared in all but 11 episodes of the series, nearly four times longer than the Korean War itself, and pushed for a better representation for women.

    I loved MASH back in the day, even if at times I might have been too young to fully grasp the themes.

    Her passing reminds me of a joke...

    What do Nikki Lauda and Hot Lips Houlihan have in common? They were both fucked by Major Burns

    Frederick Forsyth.

    Author of The Day of the Jackal and much much more. Didn't know he was a top-notch journalist who reported on and publicized the Biafran war in Nigeria when other media outlets had failed to do so.

    Author of my favourite ever book, The Devil's Alternative. I mentioned it elsewhere, maybe in the book thread.

    Didn't realise he was that young.

    Forsyth wrote some banging books. I remember The Dogs of War too, and the Odessa file. I've probably read others

    Love this track......a band with black and white members was pretty much unheard of til they came around.

    and this one.......SO funky. Awesome from the moment I first heard it on the Woodstock movie

    RIP

    Brian Wilson. The genius of geniuses behind The Beach Boys. Had a few mental issues but battled back to do some amazingly good stuff later in his life.

    George Martin called him a true musical genius and the Mozart of his age. Not going to argue
