@Joe: I don't think Irwin hates Al Green. I was referring to that period of time late last year (October 2016?) where, while the rest of the world was going to shit anyway, some musician especially mentioned/feature on Irwin's show would then die soon afterward, usually within a few days. Jean-Jacques Perrey, Greg Lake, more I'm forgetting--it just kept happening.
