Yeah, cause his daughter was protected from the “chirpers” with armed secret service agents.

Wow, we lost both Bob Ueker and David Lynch today.
I was never sure how to feel about David Lynch; I have enjoyed his movies, and Twin Peaks was a complete departure for network TV, but somehow I felt I couldn't forgive him for making me watch Eraserhead.
I would love to watch The Straight Story again, however. That kind of redeems it all.
Probably for good reason. Talented enough guy for sure but too deep into the morose dark arts. Definitely a hedonist if not an outright anti-Christian. Very smart guy and I've seen some clips of him recently spitting various kinds of esoteric purple pill knowledge, but ultimately he failed to tell us all he knows about the JQ underworld via a Kubrick style Eyes Wide Shut. And so ultimately he failed society by producing over-sexualized male feminist "art" while taking his best real life "secret" stories of money, wealth, power, sexual deviancy, and corruption to the grave with him. Another "brave" and "daring" and "visionary" artist who only cared about himself and getting financing for his slightly above average films. You can't speak truth to power via art when you are beholden to the powers that be in order to make that art.
I've spent some time with his daughter and she is a decent, smart, nice person, but ultimately she suffers from the same type of liberal, feminist, deviant malaise as her father. This is best demonstrated in her violent, sado-masochistic, over-sexualized, and very dark film Boxing Helena.
RIP... May God rest his tortured soul.
Bob Uecker was known for appearing in beer commercials, which were always funny.
R.I.P.
If you're a fan of Uecker (and who isn't?), definitely check out his autobiography Catcher in the Wry.
Absolutely hilarious!!
I"m going to have to read it again now.
Here's a good video oh him on Carson:

Lynch was one of the best filmmakers who ever lived. I do agree with others that his productions were sometimes too dark. Eraserhead, for example, is just plain a depressing film. I just felt sorry for the baby/creature the whole time, and when you spend two hours just feeling sorry for something, it's hard to get inspired to rewatch. I haven't finished Blue Velvet because, similarly, despite it being impressive, I simply did not enjoy my time watching it.
Twin Peaks and Mulholland Drive achieved the best balance imo. I think they are among the best movies/shows ever, and they are "normal" enough that I could watch them in any sort of mood.
The Elephant Man and The Straight Story are probably his two most approachable films, both great.
Then there's all Lynch's performances and cameos. He's definitely not an actor, he pretty much plays himself, but he somehow always steals the show. He's great in Louie (three episodes where Louie is training to take over for Letterman) and in Twin Peaks.
He was also a solid musician and used music very effectively in his movies. Just a great all-around artist and a true original.

20 years as a Christian and I know I should be praying for her, but how many innocent lives did this beast take part in slaying on satans alter.
Thou art justified in all thy judgements O Lord
The last member of The Band died. Most won't know him (I know of The Band, but didn't know his name). I posted because he's playing The Old Rugged Cross in the video clip. Very poignant.
SSPX Bishop Richard Williamson has passed away. May the Lord welcome his soul with open arms for staying true to Christendom and helping many Catholics and converts alike. He was a good spiritual leader and I can only pray that more like him emerge.

Non-Catholics will remember him mostly for his legitimate and vocal opposition to holocaustianity:
