No mention of Carroll Shelby passing?

As we age and more and more people each of us thought in some was was a significant person, the RIps and eulogies will pile up.
I am not one for commmenting on the dead much.
Nor do i see any need to do so on audio sites for non audio famous folks..
The place would become filled with death notices.
A person dies every half second....
So I say please keep the non audio dead OFF the audio pages.
Even the audio related dead take up to much bandwidth.
And yeah when i croak. forget me. thanks.

Forget Elizabeth? That's a good one.

Ghosthouse, I'd like to abolish the word 'best' from these forums forever. Every frickin' day someone is asking "what is the best dac?" "What is the best power cord?" "What is the best amp?"

There is NO BEST!!! There, I said it, now I feel better.

Elizabeth who???????

I admire anyone who was an innovator/pioneer in their field, whether their field was audio or any other, and Carroll Shelby certainly fits that definition. When able, I've driven sports cars since I was 23 (my first Fiat X1/9) including my current Honda S2000, and my autos have given me as much pleasure as my audio equipment. Carroll Shelby was a visionary, and thus should be afforded a position equal to Henry Kloss or any of our audio heroes. We all benefit from advancement of our chosen arenas of interest. We are blessed to follow in the footsteps of giants.

Not being into cigars, liquor, or cars, I would have more expected someone to note the passing of Owsley "Bear" Stanley last March on this site than some car guy. (Yes, I know who he was.)

Being interested in audio equipment or music doesn't necessarily relate to your or my other interests.
