    Sad story about his final days from the usually reliable (despite the Faux News affiliation) Roger Friedman:

    Richard, indeed an interesting piece, and one that fills in a lot of gaps.

    What’s most troubling is the Samuel L. Jackson connection however:

    But actor Samuel L. Jackson, who recently filmed scenes with Isaac and the late Bernie Mac for a new movie called “Soul Men,” told me on Saturday that Isaac really wasn’t up to the physical demands of shooting the movie. (Neither, it seems, was Bernie Mac.)

    Gabriel Macht — be careful!

    Isaac Hayes was the man! A definite part of my childhood - back when (gasp) we listened to music on plastic vinyl disks played on boxes with needles.

    And Heidi, it’s so cool to see you rubbin’ elbows with Issac, that’s a great picture. Must be a story behind it.
