Isaac Hayes - dead at 65
Tuesday, August 19th, 2008
Issac Hayes has been found dead at his home. It appears that he collapsed while exercising in his home.
He started off as a musician playing with another of my heroes, Otis Redding. Isaac Hayes went on to make his own mark on music - he made his own style of Soul, one that would later be a huge influence on many Hip Hop artists. And, like the show or not, he became a cultural icon of another sort as the voice of Chef in the animated series South Park.
P.S. - My web host has been down for a better part of a week, so this may explain the temporary absence of this site from the interweb. But at least we’re back up now. If only I could get my email working…
