Brew News: Captain Lou Albano Dies



Legendary wrestler Captain Lou Albano has died.  Captain Lou was 76 years old.  People of a certain age may remember him as the father in Cyndi Lauper's classic "Girls Just Want To Have Fun" video.  He appeared in a slew of Lauper's videos actually during the 80s.  Captain Lou had been placed under hospice care earlier this week after being sent home from the hospital.

Born Louis Vincent Albino on July 29, 1933, he had a career that spanned over fifty years. Albano transformed himself into a brash sounding wrestler, ultimately managing more than 50 different wrestlers who won two dozen championships.  And who could forget the rubber bands!

Captain Lou lost 150 lbs. after a health scare.  He suffered a heart attach four  years ago.  Let's pour some out for Captain Lou!
