It has been pointed out that if exercise actually extended your life there would be hundreds of ex-football players that were over 100 years old. Same with tennis, baseball, basketball, Olympics, etc.

Chad McQueen aka Dutch from the Karate Kid has passed away. He was 63 years old. He was also the son of Steve McQueen.

I did not know he was Steve's son. And Steve was only 50 when he died.

Undoubtedly. The idiots who inject so many anabolics and growth hormones that they buy them by the quart have an average life expectancy of around 43 years. In almost every instance their cardiovascular systems blow up one way or another...heart attack, embolism, stroke, you name it.

In the last year: Rich Pana (46), Daniel Broadhurst (32), Marco Luis (46), Douglas Fruchey (36), Giuliano Pirone (33), Christian Figueiredo (29), Kevin Gebhart (31), Alfredo Martin (28). And don't forget the '80s icon, Mike Mentzer (49).

It's senseless, but it's a psychological addiction, not a physical one. How guys in the U.S. are able to get their hands on so much "juice" is a mystery to me: all of it is prescription-only. My guess is that nowadays a fair amount of it--like meth labs--is homegrown, has no purity standards, and is had via black-market networking.

What about Richard Simmons? At 76, he wasn’t that old when he passed. He was a fitness guru, health nut and his physical activity didn’t involve getting banged around or using steroids. I just wonder if the fitness thing does more harm than good. Wears out the body

I picture our body as a set of new tires, the more we use it the more tread wears off. Back in the day when I and many others got caught up in the running craze, it was pretty cool. An entire industry sprang from that craze and remains today. All the outfits and shoes. Then the guy who helped start it all died from a heart attack while running, Jim Fixx.

Taking a metric shit-ton of steroids daily tends to offset the benefits of exercising.

They take the quick and easy path with steroids. They pay for it with a much-shortened lifespan.

Look at Arnold Schwarzenegger, he's 77 and still exercises six days a week. He put in the time and effort to bulk up, and it shows!

Arnold juiced; he admitted to it.

The difference was the amount- these guys dropping dead so young do insane amounts.

He took two key drugs in his prime, decades before they were made illegal.

And Arnold did it under a doctor's supervision. Steroids, like any medication, are not a DIY project.....

As a guy who used to water ski in the 1970s with rope in one hand and a beer in the other (it's easy with good upper body strength and young), I couldn't even walk to a boat now. Well maybe walk to it but not climb in. My emphasis nowadays with my heart issues and limitations is doing what my chiro says to do with this phrase I may have shared before - "motion is lotion". Meaning keeping the joints lubricated by moving best you can each day. I shared that phrase with my primary doc who sees lots of old folks and he liked it and will share with them.

Some more on James Earl Jones - I just learned tonight that not only was he an avid firearms collector, he was an outspoken supporter of the Second Amendment.

And he thought more of his reading of the Bible for an audio-book, than he did of his roles acting.

John David "J.D." Souther has died.

J.D. was born in Detroit, Michigan where his father was a big band singer, and where as a child he met many of the jazz world's great singers and bands who passed through his family's home.

After his father made the transition from performer to musical agent in order to spend more time with the family, they moved from Detroit to Wellington, Texas to Dallas and finally on to Amarillo, where J.D. grew up.

He learned to play violin at seven, the clarinet at 10, a tenor saxophone at 11, and then he started drumming at 12. Next came the piano. After graduating from Tascosa High School he spent two years studying at Amarillo College before heading west, to Los Angeles, where after a few years of carpentry and odd jobs his musical career was born.

"I was a jazz kid my whole life," Souther said, "Then, when I went to California, someone left an acoustic guitar in the apartment and I didn't know how to play it, and I had already been writing poetry, so I decided to pick it up and give it a try and everything just seemed to work."

It was a very good move, indeed.

He met fellow Michigan native Glenn Frey, a founding member and guitarist of the Eagles. The two began a longtime partnership, starting with a band called Longbranch Pennywhistle. Frey later credited Souther with introducing him to country music.

Souther was so close to the Eagles, he even appeared on the back cover of their 1973 album, “Desperado,” with Souther and others reenacting the capture of the legendary Dalton Gang. He described his start with Frey at The Troubadaour, the popular West Hollywood music club, as “the best study in songwriting I can imagine.”

“So many great songwriters came through — Laura Nyro, Kris Kristofferson, Randy Newman, Elton John, James Taylor, Tim Hardin, Carole King, Rick Nelson, Joni Mitchell, Neil Young, Waylon Jennings, Tim Buckley, Gordon Lightfoot, Taj Mahal and more,” he said in a statement on his website. “It seems impossible now to imagine that much music in a year and a half or so, but that was my life and the Troubadour was our university.

“It’s also where I met Linda Ronstadt and where Don Henley and Glenn Frey met to form this little country rock band called Eagles that would go on to make musical history,” Souther wrote.

J.D. wrote some of the Eagles most well-known hits, including "New Kid in Town," "Heartache Tonight," and "Best of My Love." He wrote "Her Town, Too" for James Taylor, "Faithless Love," recorded by Linda Ronstadt, and "Heart of the Matter," recorded by Don Henley. My personal favorite J.D. Souther song is one he made famous, "When You're Only Lonely."

Per every woman I knew back in the 1980s, J.D. was exceptionally good looking. His girlfriends included Linda Ronstadt, Joni Mitchell and Stevie Nicks, who in a 1982 interview said that he was “very, very, very male chauvinistic but very sweet and cute and wonderful but very Texas.”

J.D. Souther was 78 years old.
