West Nile Virus from a mosquito bite, damn.

Julio from Sanford and Son has died at the age of 83.

Oooof.

And yeah Babylon 5 was great I didn't get into it until well after it aired but rather enjoyed it.

It was great and so much better than the star shlock they were pushing at the time.

Actress Cloris Leachman died yesterday, age 94.

Dustin Diamond, Screech from Saved By The Bell, just passed. 44 yo with stage 4 cancer.

Starcrash... It's sad that that movie has ended up being better than Star Wars lately.

Dope outfit!
Good night, sweet prince.

Kinda makes me want to watch Beginners again.

Mary Wilson of The Supremes passed away.


Also, S. Clay Wilson, who was an underground comics pioneer. He is widely regarded as the raunchiest comic artist of the 70's.

Porn maven and free speech warrior Larry Flynt.

Dang. Had a watch of The People Vs Larry Flint the other week. After, I turned to the gal and said "Dang. If even half of this movie is true! What a guy!" As to the implied question to the audience:
Yes, I'll have (fake) tatas and ass depicted over real mutilation and genocide. Any day. Thanks, Larry.

Chick Corea. RIP.

Ding dong the witch is dead

Sing it high,

Sing it low.

He was a fucker.

I was trying to find a photo of Rush as Ronald McDonald (playing the clown was one of his early gigs), but it seems that the internet has been somewhat sanitized of those photos. I know I did a search for that some years ago and found many pictures of him in makeup.

Prince Markie Dee of the Fat Boys passed.

He's the lighter skinned one on the right with cheese burger. This album came out when I was in grade school and cemented my love of hip hop for years to come. It's both hilarious and brilliant as a satire of contemporary hip hop and pop culture.

That sleeve art makes me simultaneously uneasy and hungry, pizza looks dire but that's a pretty rugged burger

Lawrence Ferlinghetti passed at 101 years old.

This was the poet who, in high school, opened my eyes to writing as an art. A Coney Island of the Mind, forever changed the way I understood both the world and what could be done with the English language.
