Joseph Heller still dead, still at 76 (and other celebrity deaths): RIP Hank Aaron and Willie Mays
When an interviewer told Mr. Heller that he had never written anything as good as ''Catch-22,'' the author shot back, ''Who has?''
R.I.P. Ingenuity, the most compelling pop star of the Millennium, and perhaps the only sign that there may be hope for Mankind.
can't get that melanie song out of my brain. thanks guys.
nooooooo
Forever Apollo Creed. He entertained us for 5 decades. And always made sure we could make a soup.
RIP
That's a shame and a shock. He looked in really good shape recently too, in The Mandalorian.
He'll be remembered as a great Apollo for centuries, rightly.
Wayne Kramer, rock guitarist best known for his time in the late 60's and early 70's with Detroit band the MC5, dead at 75.

Saddenz. RIP
Here is Wilko Johnson on Wayne Kramer, MC5, Teddy Boys at Wembley, and their influence on him. (I believe this is how Wilko got all his machine gun shtick.)

Aston Family Man Barrett, reggae bassist and last of the Wailers
yesterday, age 77
Last of the whalers, hang up the harpoons. Sad.
Stir It Up, I agree; one of their best songs. RIP.
I have posted this before, but it is good.
Sorry to hear about Toby Keith. He was a great talent and seemed to be a good guy...
I agree. Toby Keith was a very talented songwriter, great singer, brimming with vitality, a credit to country music in every way. It's criminal that redbuck's post about him is the first mention of his death in this thread, been dead for days now. Lounge culture tends to skew in other directions, I guess.
Oh, I just read about Mojo Nixon dying, he was awesome too. True original. Who else coulda written a song about Princess Di called "Drunk Divorced Floozie: the Ballad of Diana Spencer."
If you don't know Mojo Nixon, then your store could use some fixin.
-the Dead Milkmen, Punk Rock Girl
Oh man, sorry to hear about Mojo. Tons of fun. First Country Dick Montana, now this.
I knew toby Keith in his early days when he used to play with ez money.
Unfortunately I don't have a good experience with him, but I hope he grew and learned to be a better person.
So in that respect, RIP big dog

Seiji Ozawa, conductor of the Boston Symphony for many years, at 88.
Many years ago, we went to see Ozawa conduct Beethoven's Ninth at the Boston Common. It was electrifying when Ozawa, taken ill, stepped to the podium for the last two movements.

I still don't understand why orchestras need a conductor
some claim importance for the last two movements
sure hope ample bum wipe was available
for those who want one to wave their stick at them
I read that before they had conductors, the musicians used to watch the bow of the first violin, and get their cues from that. Seems perfectly acceptable to me.
I really liked Ozawa, although not once did he nod at me and my harmonica during the Ode To Joy and say, "Take it!"
