Loved her. She was absolutely amazing as Sybil. The perfect foil to Basil.

Donna Jean Thatcher Godchaux -McKay 78 Singer

Grateful Dead 1972-79

Back up singer on Suspicious Minds and When a Man Loves a Woman

Vale Donna Jean.
She and Keith replaced Pig, their marriage like so many things in the Dead's circle didn't survive the band, they were replaced by Brent Mydland in 1980 and Keith died not long after. She should have been inducted into the Hall of Fame with the band but for some reason wasn't.
It's only the drummers, Bobby and Bruce Hornsby, sort of as living members of the band now.

A dear Facebook friend of mine and Dr Who icon from the 80's, Nabil Shaban, very sadly passed away a few days ago (he was very ill for some time)





Nabs was a larger than life figure (whom from all reports shouldn't have survived being born but was a true fighter)

Doctor Who villain actor Nabil Shaban dies, aged 72

The actor played Sil in the 1985 storyline Vengeance on Varos and also set up the Graeae Theatre Company – Britain's leading theatre company devoted to deaf and disabled artists and theatre makers.

I don’t really wish to post on this board much anymore, but i just couldn't let Nabil's death go without mentioning him and his legacy, Nabs was physically very small in stature, but metaphorically a Titan of a human being.

He rose above all the massive adversity and painful setbacks life gave him, and flourished

I still cannot believe he is gone tbh

Nabs was one of those very rare people who squeezed every drop of his talented blood (and more) to become someone who became more successful than they had any damn right to be

His life should be remembered and celebrated

Huge Dr Who fan and I remember watching Sil for the first time in VOV. In an era that was not known for its success this story was held together by Shaban and he became a great Dr WHO villain. He was amazingly sinister.

Shaban was also a very talented individual who got the most from his career despite his disability. He found a good community and support network in the Dr Who fraternity.

Good ****ing job.

Caitlin Johnstone:

Dick Cheney died far too old and far too free.
The fact that such monsters get to pass away in their eighties surrounded by loved ones instead of alone in a cage is an indictment of our entire civilization.
In a sane society, Richard Bruce Cheney would have lived out his life in relative obscurity, working as a gardener or something.
In a fairly sane society, people would have realized what a monster Cheney was before he could do any harm, and he would have been driven out of any town he tried to enter.
In a slightly sane society, he would have been punished for the rape of Iraq and lived out the rest of his life in a cell in The Hague.
But we do not live in a sane society, or in a fairly sane society, or even in a slightly sane society. We live in the sort of society that lets a man unleash a chain of events which kills millions and displaces tens of millions causing more human suffering than the mind can possibly comprehend, and then live out the rest of his life in comfort and privilege, with zero consequences of any kind.
Dick Cheney is dead now, but his legacy lives on. The damage he did is still unfolding. The hegemonic, hypermilitaristic ideology he promoted has become the baseline norm. New swamp monsters have stepped in to fill his shoes and advance the same murderous and tyrannical agendas he advanced, confident that they too will suffer no consequences and live long and comfortable lives in reward for their loyal service to the US empire.
Dick Cheney left a stain upon our species that we will spend the rest of our lives trying to scrub out. All decent people want our world to move in the exact opposite direction he spent his entire blood-spattered career working to steer us toward. All decent people want to undo everything that Dick Cheney was.

Kreutzmann with a lovely tribute to Donna Jean.

Anyone that we let into our lives must one day leave it, so we should focus on the time we have with each other in between those finite bookmarks and fill them with as many pages as possible.

And even though we so often lose touch along the way, that doesn’t mean the end still doesn’t sting. It has to. At least, if the person meant anything to you. And Donna Jean Godchaux sure did mean something to me. She was my bandmate and she was my friend. So I loved her.

I first met Donna in 1971 and it didn’t take long before we invited her to join the band. She was very much woven into the Dead’s tie-dyed tapestry during the ‘70s — and some of those years remain my all-time favorite of the Grateful Dead. Which means that some of my favorite music that I ever made with the Grateful Dead was made with Donna.

In the world of Deadheads, Donna’s history often got lost, but it’s important to note that her career didn’t begin with the Grateful Dead. Nor was she on stage with us just because her husband was our keyboardist.

Donna came to us with a pretty incredible resume and we all knew her voice already from the radio. That’s her on “When a Man Loves a Woman” by Percy Sledge. And that’s her with Elvis on “Suspicious Minds.”

After cutting her teeth as a session singer in Memphis, she became a member of the legendary Muscle Shoals collective over at FAME Studios in Alabama and she sang on so many of those iconic recordings. So the legacy that she leaves behind goes far beyond her service in the Grateful Dead.




But none of that is what I’m thinking about today. Instead, I’m replaying so many scenes of friendship, of growing pains, of the ups and downs of a decade’s worth of adventures, of inside jokes that may have gotten lost to time but whose warm feeling remains inside my mind and my heart forever.

Which is where a part of her will live now, too. I’m sending love to her family, to my extended family, and to all of you.

Donna, may your body rest in peace and your spirit soar, as the four winds do their thing. Love will accompany you every step of that infinite journey — and not fade away.

You might be thinking of the guy he murdered, though that was two decades ago.
