Just wanted to say adieu…
Isaac Hayes passed away at his home over the weekend. I believe he was 65. This following the passing of Bernie Mack, 50.
I will certainly miss both.
I will miss his big chocolate salty balls.
???
To what is this in reference to?
I assume it’s a South Park reference…
Many white Americans needed to hear and see what he had to say. And most everybody else enjoyed what he offered.
RIP. I respect you, Isaac. Thank you.
I confess, I may have seen one or possibly two episodes of South Park, hilarious but I don’t spend much time watching the tube.
He was indeed a “Soul Man”, to date one of my favorite compositions of his.

What’s sad about Hayes is that he lost the rights to his catelogue decades ago, and the immense cost of Scientology drained everthing that was left of his bank accounts, until he picked up the ‘chef’ gig. When scientology forced him to quit from South Park over it’s founders’ negative view of scientology, he had very few other options to make a living. An unpublicised stroke a couple of years ago left him largely incapable of touring, although he apparrantly did try.
One of his most famous lines on South Park. He wants people to suck on his big chocolate salty balls.
This is how he became relevant to my generation. We’ll all miss his big chocolate salty balls. 
SAY EVERYBODY HAVE YOU SEEN MY BALLS?!
Yeah, I meant to post something yesterday. He was an amazing individual, wrote tons of songs, most none of us have heard of, many we have heard of but had no idea they were his. He was what soul music was all about.
This is what made him well-known to people my age (mid 20s) and younger. Before the “salty balls song,” many of us had never heard of him, or at least thought of him only as a South Park character and didn’t know he was as musically talented as he was.
I hadn’t heard of his demise. Too bad.
He was a bad mother…
… shut your mouth. 
Apparently not, seeing as he had 12 children. 
I’m talking 'bout Issac!
I see we have both heard that song a few times over ther years.
I’m glad someone jumped on the bandwagon!
I’m your Huckleberry!
The great tragedy of your generation is that you only know him from South Park.
The great tragedy of my generation is that we allowed this to happen.
We’ll never see his like again..
R.I.P ..
Slan,

It’s not a tragedy at all. He had a lot of success with South Park and the audience he reached via Comedy Central was not the audience he reached thirty years prior. He was an artist doing two different things for two different audiences, and he was successful at doing both.
