I still remember first hearing The Beach Boys song "I Get Around." I was about ten years old, but I knew right away that "goddamn, I like that" and I've been going like crazy ever since, RIP

I somehow missed this death. I'm sure it wasn't the fault of a racist media.

Mourners pay respects to late US Rep. Charles Rangel in New York City
Rangel's funeral takes place Friday at St. Patrick’s Cathedral in midtown Manhattan and will be open to the public as well as livestreamed.


In this June 16, 2016 file photo, Rep. Charles Rangel, D-N.Y., speaks at a news conference on Capitol Hill in Washington. Rangel retires after more than four decades in office.

Mourners paid their respects to former U.S. Rep. Charles Rangel as his body lay in state Thursday at New York City Hall, an honor bestowed to a short list of political figures, including U.S. presidents Abraham Lincoln and Ulysses S. Grant.

The outspoken, gravel-voiced Harlem Democrat died May 26 at the age of 94 after spending nearly five decades on Capitol Hill. Rangel was among the longest serving House members, a founding member of the Congressional Black Caucus and chairman of one the chamber’s most powerful committees.

... “I didn’t agree with all the things they did, but they stood up for people who couldn’t stand up for themselves.”

... Besides Presidents Lincoln and Grant, the others accorded the City Hall honors after death include statesman Henry Clay, newspaper publisher Horace Greeley and Civil War generals Abner Doubleday and Joseph Hooker.

... Doors opened for the public to pay their respects to Rangel beginning Thursday morning. An honor guard ceremony was held in the evening with pallbearers representing the 369th Regiment, an all-Black unit from World War I known as the Harlem Hellfighters.

New York politicians who spoke at the ceremony remembered Rangel as a tireless public servant.

“I think of so many times when Charlie Rangel had the right thing to say, got you to do something you didn’t think you wanted to do and made it all seem like it was your idea,” Hilary Rodham Clinton said.

Clinton recalled with a smile how Rangel relentlessly lobbied her to run for the Senate seat she won in 2000.

... A wake was held Tuesday at a church in Harlem, the upper Manhattan neighborhood where the “Lion of Lenox Avenue” was born and raised. Rangel’s body arrived at City Hall on Wednesday, where there was a private evening viewing for his family.

The Korean War vet defeated legendary Harlem politician Adam Clayton Powell in 1970 to start his congressional career.

Rangel went on to become the dean of the New York congressional delegation and the first African American to chair the powerful Ways and Means Committee in 2007.

... House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, also a New York Democrat, lauded Rangel as a “patriot, hero, statesman, leader, trailblazer, change agent and champion for justice” when his death was announced last month.

Thank you for your service and RIP.

I only know about this since this morning right before I came on here.

That makes me feel a little better personally that I wasn't the only one, but I feel worse about society that we were in the dark for over 2 weeks.

Well, trump lunacy tends to suck up a lot of the oxygen the media has.

[O Really]

Rerun of the Emmy's salute to the Beach Boys last night was good, but it was weird to see Brian sitting there watching this soon after he died.
