Isaac Hayes R.I.P.

I wonder if anyone under the age of thirty knows Isaac Hayes from anything else other than doing the voice-over of "Chef" from South Park. Not that it was Matt & Trey's responsibility to point that out to anyone, but it's a shame nonetheless...a shame that they didn't dig a little deeper and find out how Hayes was "Black Moses," the bad mother....shut your mouth, the iconic bald head on the cover of Hot Buttered Soul, the dude with the chops that suggested that he could kick your ass, and when you saw him in person, the voice fit the body.
While it would have been cool for everyone to be on the same page with Hayes' passing, it's a damn shame that the passion for his religion caused him to curiously boycott his South Park gig in a fit that Matt & Trey accurately pointed to be hypocritical.
So now instead of celebrating his passing with mere soul and pop-culture praise, we're also remembering the footnote of how defensive he got about Scientology, to the point where he effectively took his toys home with him.
Isaac Hayes was only 65, but he looked nearly identical to this classic performance of "Walk On By."
