I remember there was a judge who was murdered and the headline read something like "stripper who became judge etc."

Well that’s how I interpreted it. If it were Marla Maple’s obituary, it would make total sense.

But I can’t find anything public and particularly damning about Young, so now I’m back at “editors being dumb”.

Even if journalists had heard rumours, that’s a hell of a thing to put in the subhead.

It says in the body text that Young just suddenly up and left her for Daryl Hannah so yeah, Pegi probably felt "discarded".

It's still probably not how she'd want her life summed up in a headline. In addition, a good chunk of the visible obit appears to be centered around Neil Young rather than her own accomplishments.

I think that's what they were going for. Still says a lot about how much women are defined by their relationships with men and how losing those relationships can be seen as a life defining tragedy.

Being quickly kicked to the curb by your partner of 36 years probably qualifies as a life defining tragedy.

You discard trash. A woman can be scorned, spurned, or abandoned, and still be human. They would have had to try pretty hard to find a word that would seem to be making GBS threads on the subject harder than “discarded.”

Maybe the word was intended to reflect poorly on Neil Young, but they spent a significant chunk of the obituary yammering about him. At the very least, they need to have a talk with their editorial staff, because that word choice sucked.

Neil Young was very, very, very good*. If you don’t like Helpless with Joni Mitchell backing him up on The Last Waltz, or Heart of Gold, or Old Man, then... I just don’t know.

* He’s still OK.

Sure, sure. " accidentally" christ.

The headline is misleading, the refueling was not accidental, the issue is that they didnt get charged

Like if an airplane in squadron x gets gas from a tanker in squadron y, there is paperwork done after landing to account for who used how much gas. Same applies if you gas jets from another country

In this case some poor resource advisor whose additional duty was to manage this appears to have made an error, though i personally blame the pilots for probably screwing up the forms :)
