ZZ Top bassist Dusty Hill dies; band scheduled for December show in Abilene
Hill sang and played the base for more than 50 years with the Texas-based trio.
Either something fishy is going on, or some idiot didn't fact check. How could he have died when he already died?

Former MLB player Jeremy Giambi dies at 47
Jeremy Giambi, who played six seasons in the majors and was a key figure on successful Oakland A's teams in the early 2000s, died Wednesday in Southern California, according to his agent, Joel Wolfe.
Could find the MLB thread. I loved the Giambi bros when they were both on the A’s…unfortunate that Jeremy’s most famous moment was the flip play. I hope whatever it was the dude’s at peace.

I was just coming to post about him, Thaedolus. My jaw dropped and I thought of you. I looked up his stats. I thought he was around a lot longer than 5 seasons.
Derek Jeter's pal Gerald Williams died recently too from cancer. I went to a AAA game in 2004 and he was still getting at it in his late 30s.

Before Siegfried Steiger revolutionized the German rescue service, there were neither uniform emergency numbers nor special rescue vehicles. He has now died at the age of 92.
But this high standard was not common in Germany until the early 1970s: there was no organized rescue service, no ambulances manned by emergency doctors.
Even the uniform emergency numbers 110/112 did not yet exist.
Injured people were taken to an ambulance and observed in the rear-view mirror, that was all.
The existence of modern rescue services goes back to the commitment of Siegfried Steiger, who was born on December 15, 1929 in Vogtland, Saxony.
Steiger came to Baden-Württemberg from the GDR in 1952 with his wife Ute and settled down as an architect in Winnenden.
After their eldest son Björn died of shock on May 3, 1969 because he had to wait too long for the ambulance after a traffic accident, the Steigers founded the foundation named after their dead son on July 7, 1969.
They fought tirelessly to set up a modern rescue service and wrote more than 300 letters.
The couple did pioneering work: they received the telephone numbers of influential politicians for their lobbying work from the wife of former Federal President Heinemann.
At that time there were 20,000 traffic fatalities per year in Germany, in 2019 there were still 3046. Steiger's foundation managed emergency telephones and had modern emergency ambulances developed.
The DRF air rescue service also goes back to Steiger's initiative.
Siegfried Steiger died on Thursday evening at the age of 92.
Ute Steiger had died two weeks earlier at the age of 88.

A massive shame. This guy had the massive talent of not only being a great vocalist, but also an exceptional lyricist. He also seemed to exude positivity everywhere he went. I can't fathom the strength it would've taken to disguise that the way he seemingly did.
I will give Everblack a spin again to honor this incredible dude.
