For Hayes a jolly good fellow...
Isaac Hayes has died!
The man, the legend, the Chef, has cancelled all future dates until further notice and will no longer be available for interviews.
Hayes, 65, was the deep-voiced legend behind such masterpieces as Shaft, played Chef in South Park for many years, until he quit the show over an episode ripping the piss out of scientology - his chosen 'religion'. (This presumably means he believed that we were all subjugated by a ruling class of aliens on this planet, and likely he was building an escape spaceship in his own back yard... But I can't claim any of that as fact, nor should you.)
Strangely enough, and lesser renowned, is Isaac 'Chef' Hayes' stab at Cheffing. He released his own cookery book 'Cooking with heart and soul' which features the legendarily unhealthy colesterol romp that is 'Deep-fried Jive Turkey' a recipe requiring 5 gallons, yes - 5 GALLONS of peanut oil. Not to mention a 10 Gallon pot (imagine the volume displacement of that boiling oil when you add a 12lb turkey! Archimedes would shit!) Still - that's got to be the quickest way to cook a whole damn turkey I've ever seen.
So RIP, Isaac - singer, composer, scientologist, chef (real and cartoon) - I salute you. And am heartened by these great words you sang in South Park , after you had become a zombie:
Chef: [singing after being turned into a zombie] I'm gonna make love, even when I'm dead!/My body might be cold, but it's always hot in my bed!/Make love, don't you be afraid!/Just because my heart ain't beatin', it don't mean you won't get laid!
Chef's dead, baby. Chef's dead.
(this will likely break soon!)
Keep th' faith,
Article Dan
