Isaac Hayes looked like he was 35 years old. I would run into him occassionally at Wild Oats and we would talk about healthy diets. I was really shocked when I got the news about his passing. My two favorite pairs of writers were Hayes/Porter and Lennon/McCartney.
Years ago my wife, Diana, and a friend of hers were in line at the old Squash Blossom (a health food store). They had been busy talking as they approach the counter and didn't notice that Isaac Hayes was just in front of them, that is, of course, until he spoke. He was ordering a carrot juice for himself. My wife turned to her friend and said that she had never had carrot juice before...sounded interesting. Apparently Isaac heard her comment, turned around and started telling her about the virtues of "juicing" then bought her a carrot juice. He was a sweet, healthy soul.
