Two more TV-related obituaries:

Alf Clausen, former longtime composer for The Simpsons, age 87, of a brain disorder.

Johnathan Joss, voice of John Redcorn on King of the Hill, age 59 - apparently shot dead by a neighbor, possibly on account of his being gay.

The details of the murder, if his husband's account is true, are exceptionally fucked up.

Oh damn. One of the best. Coincidentally was talking about Sly and the Family Stone on Sunday with friends. We were having a discussion about R&B groups that were family members and they came up.

There's A Riot Goin On is firmly in my favorite albums of all time.

Aww crap. That one stings. I've been a Wilson watcher since I was a kid. He's genuinely one of those people who I sometimes thought about over the years, and it was a comfort to know he was still around, and that there might be some more music coming from him.

Solo Wilson track fromt 1988, Love and Mercy hits home right now.
