'And if sheʻd have taken just half that sandwich from Mama Cass, theyʻd still be alive today."

Sigh.. looks like we have an immature, juvenile members here that likes to perpetuate nonsense.

Grow up, russbutton.

chrisoshea - you're the one who is on a thread called "Karen Carpenter died 42 years ago". Odd place to be if you want to whine about having a fixation on Karen Carpenter. Do you normally spend time on forum threads in which you have no interest? 

That voice was so good...unbelievably great...RIP Karen...

+1, @larsman .

@unclewilbur thanks for the reminder--a dose of Karen is relaxing in these crazy times.  I was lucky to have experienced my first two concerts featuring male and female vocalists as follows (although at the time i didn't really know how lucky i was):

1. First concert---Elvis at the International in Vegas (1970) visiting my best friend who had moved from Laramie and convinced me to go even though i didn't want to-i was an ignorant 18 year old-i never stopped thanking him for that

2. Second concert ever--The Carpenters at A&S Auditorium in Laramie, Wyoming (1973)--i think the student price ticket was $2.  I was in love forever.
