R.I.P. Isaac Hayes (and Chef)

Taking a break from non-stop Olympics watching (Womens' Badminton teh hotness, yo!), to pay a tribute to a lost funky brother...



So Isaac Hayes passed away this weekend along with Bernie Mac... what a doubleheader of suck that is. Looking through the iTunes, I was kinda shocked to see that I don't have a whole lot of Isaac Hayes music in there (a situation I must remedy), but I do have Hot Buttered Soul, as should everyone... especially the whippersnappers who might only know him as the voice of Chef on South Park. They need to know what a bad musical motherfucker Chef was... and I'm not just talking about the "I wanna make love to you woman, wanna make it down by the fi-yah" song...

But I'm not hating on the South Park. To the contrary, it's my favorite show probably ever. Isaac left the show after getting all offended when they trashed Scientology (in the awesome "Tom Cruise In The Closet" episode), an action which A) made one say, "Isaac Hayes is a freakin' Scientogist?"... and B) led to Matt and Trey killing off the character with all of the nuanced subtlety they are famous for...



Ouch. So, to recap... Chef's death = hilarious. Isaac Hayes' death = the opposite. Rest in peace to the both of them...
