On the internet you can be anything you want.
It is strange that so many people choose to be stupid.

Six years after his death, hundreds paid tribute to Hawaiian singer Israel Kamakawiwo'ole yesterday as a 200-pound bronze bust of the revered singer was unveiled. The singer's widow, Marlene Kamakawiwo'ole, and sculptor Jan-Michelle Sawyer placed leis on the sculpture during the dedication ceremony at the Waianae Neighborhood Community Center. The bust finally arrived this week, but the statue's base was marred by graffiti. The graffiti was removed in time for yesterday's unveiling.
The bust seems to be a tad bit too small.
A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another: just as I have loved you, you also are to love one another.
Yes, it does. Plus, I have to wonder what happened to his arms, legs and the bottom half of his torso. It looks like poor ol' Iz was attacked by a shark. The artist should have included a pool of blood and ligaments, entrails and bone fragments hanging off the sculpture.
Any day above ground is a good day.
Enjoyed his version of Somewhere Over the Rainbow, but Eva Cassidy remains my favorite ....
She is here on FAD, another young death.

My DW and I love Over The Rainbow/Wonderful World. Unfortunately it was played at the funeral of one of my DW's friends, so she can no longer listen to it.
I am so behind. I didn't know he was dead. I'd heard his music on a few movies and bought them on I-Tunes, but didn't know anything about him. He had some beautiful songs.
I absolutely love his version of Over The Rainbow. I had no idea he was dead. What a shame.
LOL . I am 7 years behind you ! I loved that song in 50 First Dates but I thought it was sung by the guy who was in Shallow Hal .Now I've found him on You Tube ,I can't stop playing his songs .
When I put his name in an image search a vile zombified picture of him came up ,gave me the absolute creeps What a great voice he had - well worth a bump into 2018 .
That song strikes me just so. It's mesmerizing.

I always think about the movie: Finding Forester with Sean Connery, and Rob Brown. It has Iz's "Over the Rainbow" played in it. It's a wonderful song and movie.
