I think I had most of Three Dog Night's songs on vinyl.

Very sad but not surprising given his condition. Just an awful thing.

I grew up on Dawson's Creek and this is a gut punch. Expected, but still so sad. Rest easy, James.

Sorry to hear about James...and so many others we've lost lately. I never watched Dawson's on a regular basis, so this may be the bit I enjoyed him most in. It's from when he hosted SNL:

@janea4old Thanks for all your links. I love the Fifth Dimension and Three Dog Night, I listen to so many of their songs to help get through life - Out in the Country, Up, Up and Away, Wedding Bell Blues, etc.

Bud Cort has also passed away.

Same

I was hoping he would beat it or be with us a little bit longer.

All seasons of Dawson's Creek are streaming on Tubi.

I started watching when the news first broke of his condition and it's been delightful watching him and also finally seeing the show through adult eyes lol. I really thought he was going to beat it.

RIP.
