    R.I.P. Bill Johnson

    Passed away today at the age of 55. Man that was awesome in 1984 when he predicted he would win the Olympic Men's Downhill and then did it! Austrians couldn't stand him.

    His health has been decline in recent years following several strokes. Not sure if they were related to the brain injury he suffered in 2001 when he crashed training for the 2002 Olympics.
    I can't run no more
    With that lawless crowd
    While the killers in high places
    Say their prayers out loud
    But they've summoned, they've summoned up
    A thundercloud
    They're going to hear from me - Leonard Cohen
