Died In 2014 - Part 1
Joe Cocker: Born: 1944-05-20 - Died: 2014-12-22
A Woodstock discover
While singing a cover
With a Little Help from My Friends
And it was a shocker
To find that Joe Cocker
Gravelly voice finally ends
Ken Weatherwax: Born 1955-9-29Died:2014-12-7
Pugsley Adams was my kind of kid
I wanted to do all the things that he did
But Ken Weatherwax was a whole ‘nother game
The Adams’s fat kid was his sole claim to fame
Marion Barry: Born:1936-03-06 Died: 2014-11-23
Karma’s a ***** and that ***** set him up
But blessed is Barry, nunneth over his cup
Elected as mayor time and again
There wasn’t a election this man couldn’t win
But Karma’s a ***** just like I said before
And Marion Barry won’t be running no more
Mike Nichols:Born:1931/11//6-Died: 2014-11-19
I loved the scene
Where the star could be seen
Framed in the crook of a knee
Seduce me he did
Like she did the kid
Mike Nichols – the best there could be
Carol Ann Susi: Born:1952-2-2 Died: 2014-11-11
Carol Ann Susi, you won’t know her face
But the voice of Mom Wolowitz you can’t erase
It will grate on your nerves, it will sure make you wince
It’s like nothing you’ve heard of before or so since
But Howard and Bernadette’s headaches will cease
Now that his mother can just rest in peace
Jack Bruce: Born: 1943-05-14 - Died: 2014-10-25
Jack Bruce was living loose
Back when he played with Cream.
That he lived this long, has got to be wrong
With the drugs that he took I mean
Marcia Strassman:Born:4/28/48 – 10/25/15
Poor Mrs. Kotter
The angels now got her
She now is a heavenly spouse and
We will miss her I sure
She was so sweet and pure
I’m talking about Marcia Strassman
Nelson Bunker Hunt: Born: 1926-02-22 - Died: 2014-10-21
Let’s corner the market
Buy up silver and park it
Until the price goes through the roof
But the bottom fell out
Bunker Hunt knew no doubt
His billionaire status went poof
Oscar de la Renta: Born:1932-7-22 Died: 2014-10-20
One day he lent a
de la Renta
to a movie star
and from that day
we’d have to say
he was the best by far
Gerard Parkes: Born: 1924-10-16 - Died: 2014-10-19
Do you remember Fraggle Rock
And the guy that played the “Doc”
That was Gerard Parkes my friend
It’s sad to say he met his end
Skip E. Lowe: Born: 1929-06-05 - Died: 2014-09-22
Skip E. Lowe
A name you won’t know
But a character you might know well
Jiminy Glick
Martin Short’s well known shtick
Was based on this guy so they tell
