RIP: Isaac Hayes

Getting away from the general atheistic ranting that characterizes this blog, I feel the need to post a small memorial. Despite his Scientology background and the stupidity of leaving South Park for its satirizing of religious beliefs, I am quite sad at the passing of Isaac Hayes. If you can't get past his Scientology, then nothing can make you happy. If you can, though, I invite you to forget about Chef, forget about Shaft, and forget about this outfit right here:


Yes, that's Jesse Jackson on the left. Okay, maybe not forget about the gold chain vest and salmon pink tights (how could you?). But I'll tell you why I'm sad to see Hayes go. Because I love Truck Turner*. I do, it's true.


Seriously, how can you not love Truck Turner? If you don't miss Isaac Hayes already, I dare you to watch the trailer below and not somehow feel a void has opened up in your soul now that he's gone.



Perhaps I will upload the soundtrack ('Double Feature' with 'Three Tough Guys!') onto the ol' ipod and get my funk on at work. 'A House Full of Girls' is a must have on silly mixes for friends and loved ones.


*1974. All good things came from 1974--the first Kiss album, Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Living Dead at Manchester Morgue, Nixon's resignation, Truck Turner, and me.
