I got home this evening and the wife had the ED SULLIVAN show tuned in. This show was "a little before my time" (I've never seen it) but the musical portion was the Carpenters this episode. Now I DID grow up listening to their music and recall when Karen died, but tonight was the first time I saw what she looked like  . Along with a BEAUTIFUL voice, she was a very attractive woman and on the "show", she was the drummer of the group. |

Yep, a real cutie. It was sad she got body shamed into a eating disorder that killed her. ------------- D14, D17, 5020, 612H, CASE 446 |

While not a classic curvy beauty, she was attractive. Now as been said, if only Mama Cass had shared her ham sandwich with her, they might both still be here....... ------------- If ignorance is bliss, than happy days are here again. |

 ------------- Life lesson: If you’re being chased by a lion, you’re on a horse, to the left of you is a giraffe and on the right is a unicorn, what do you do? You stop drinking and get off the carousel. |

She had a very pleasant, smooth singing voice. Although the Carpenters style of music(easy listening/elevator music) is not my cup of tea. It indeed was sad, she basically, slowly killed herself. ------------- I tried to follow the science, but it was not there. I then followed the money, and that’s where I found the science. |
