Isaac Hayes dead too
 

shocking how they are always so close together

from DListed.com

Bernie Mac yesterday and now Isaac Hayes today?! Bernie and Isaac did a movie together called "Soul Men" which comes out later this year. Samuel L. Jackson is also in that movie. Get Samuel to the safe house!

sad stuff.

Wow, I didn't expect this. The world is a less soulful place today.

You're next, muthafucka.

that's a damn shame. i loves me some isaac hayes. i was listening to walk on by and the look of love just last night. rip indeed.

Blackdom now rests entirely on this man's shoulders (assuming Samuel L. dies tomorrow)

isn't he in teh hospital too?

Yeah. Keep fightin' brutha.

goodnight, sweet prince.

damn...
The soundtrack to shaft is a masterpiece.
Too bad he became a fucking scientologist

what the hell is going on with all the brothers lately?

and who the fuck is gonna be chef now? :mad: maybe when morgan freeman gets out of the hospital he can play chef in his narrator voice.

if samuel l. jackson dies i will kill myself because i cannot live in a world without him.

oh shit, yeah, he quit south park like two years ago, didn't he? didn't he get all pissed off at them for making fun of scientology?

Yep.

If I remember correctly, he didn't get all pissed off at them. Rather he was forced to quit by either OSA or one of the higher ranking OTs.
His comment on it was rather light hearted, something to the effect of "Yeah, I mean the guys made that episode and honestly I was just like 'You got it way off man, but whatever'". The Co$ however weren't happy, because if you hear the story they show in that episode (The OTIII text) they believe people will get pneumonia and die.

I dunno what they said later, but when it happened he was not happy with the show. And he was on Jimmy Kimmel very recently, too, still not too happy about the South Park stuff.

And from a Scientologist's perspective, I suppose his reasoning made sense. They didn't satirize Scientology, they flat out insulted it. However, Scientology is insult-worthy. So...

AVC: They did just do an episode that made fun of your religion, Scientology. Did that bother you?
IH: Well, I talked to Matt and Trey about that. They didn't let me know until it was done. I said, "Guys, you have it all wrong. We're not like that. I know that's your thing, but get your information correct, because somebody might believe that shit, you know?" But I understand what they're doing. I told them to take a couple of Scientology courses, and understand what we do. [Laughs.]




That was the interview I was trying to find. He probably was more vocally upset about it after a few auditing sessions.

Goodbye Isaac. Your version of Jimmy Webb's "By The Time I Get To Phoenix" absolves you of any Scientology shenanigans.

Damn what's going on? Rest in peace Chef.

I was actually mad about his passing. Like Bernie Mack dying started that fire, but this was the gas canister that exploded.

Seriously bummed, R.I.P.

Shit, have we all got to pretend we liked Isaac Hayes now?

I can't keep up:( .

Oi. None of that.

I always appreciate these threads about news events because I live in a mountainside bunker where there's no cable, internet, or phone.

Ha ha ha. It's called, um, death. I hear it happens once in a lifetime.

He deserves an oscar for his role in Robin Hood: Men In Tights

isaac hayes was a soul master, but I prefer Curtis Mayfield.

He gets the ignorance award for not knowing about how racist L. Ron Hubbard was.

you gots that right

I think the "Man" (from Don't Be A Menace)did it.

Thank fuck for that, or else Will Smith would claim first dibs!


Anyway, ignorant Scientology moron or not, I still love the theme from Shaft. Also, I still owe it to the man to post the "original" for that Wu-Tang youtube in my first post.

Velvet Monkeys vs. Issac Hayes, 1986...


Could there have been a more profoundly prescient tribute?
