Englewood Cliffs, NJ......how many absolute classics did RVG produce there?  He was working up until the early 2010s.....Rudy had a great run.  Thank you, sir.

And now let's all drop acid and watch Willy Wonka......R.I.P. Gene Wilder.  Very few could play the everyman run amok like Mr. Wilder.  Remember the sheep fetishist in Woody Allen's Everything You Wanted to Know about Sex?  Or the whiskey-addled ex-gunslinger in Blazing Saddles?  Or the nervous accountant in the Producers?  Or Dr. Frankenstein (pronounced Fronk-eh-steen)?  Or those seriously underrated comedies he made with Richard Pryor in the late 70s and early 80s?  He basically dropped out after his wife Gilda Radner passed in '89.....R.I.P. to both and thanks for the laughs.

Oh, that's a shame.   One of my movie heroes, such an original character.   He was the creative force behind Young Frankenstein, not Brooks.   And I agree the Wilder/Pryor films were very good.

Farewell, Gene, thank you for my childhood.

I just found out that two founding members of one of my favourite bands - the Hungarian legend Omega - died in previous months:

Tamás Somló (bass, July 19) and
József Laux (drums, August 6)

I was very afraid of this moment... Cry Thankfully, the current line-up (since 1971) is still intact.

And I can't see any mention about the passing of Roye Albrighton from Nektar on July 26. Nevermind, I found the dedicated thread.

I know this post is dated but what a legend.  Been watching most of his movies as an honour to such a funny guy.. It was a shame Pryor was such a boozer and party animal.  He was originally casted to play in Blazing Saddles but failed to show up for his scenes.  He was later then replaced.

Stanley Dural Jr. (aka Buckwheat Zydeco) past away over the weekend.  A music legend of Louisiana roots music, he was 68.  R.I.P.

horrible news about that Marlins pitcher...he was a potential Hall of Famer. Talk about way too young. To think of all the stupid things we've done and walked away from.

Fernandez had an arm....and a great career ahead of him.  Miami loved that kid....escaped Cuba, fought thru the ranks, made the bigs with bullet, then tragedy. 

Then there's Arnold Palmer.....not a golf fan, but I once read that even at his height of fame he only made about 40k a year on the golf tour.  Granted that's a lot in 1965 money, but nothing compared to what even the 50th ranked golfer makes these days.  Arnold used to drive his big Buick around the country to attend tournaments.  He used to sleep in motels and eat motorway food.  Far cry from the 5 star hotels and gourmet restaurants of today.

Very sorry to hear of Palmer's passing this morning. A true great of the game, who can, rightly, have claimed to have set the standard for modern coverage of the game.

^Rest in peace! A fantastic director as well as a great human being. In Poland, we all really love him and so many actors and other directors now recollect what a magnificent man he was. A legend!

Today marks the 39th anniversary of the Skynyrd plane crash, in which we lost two of Southern Rock's greatest: Ronnie Van Zant and Steve Gaines.


May both rest in peace. 

Seems a little ominous that just three days before, they'd released Street Survivors, which contained both of these songs:

Only 57

Also, Bobby Vee, an icon to many of my father's generation, and not forgetting the joint creator of Dad's Army. It has been a very miserable year.

John Zacherle
 
If you're not from New York City or Philadelphia, PA this may be a stretch but John Zacherle has pasted away at the age of 98.  This guy was a cult legend in the late 60s and early 70s.  Mostly known as the ghoulish host of mostly B-horror movies.  But most surprisingly from that start he became one of NYC's most well known DJs on (IMO) the best ever FM radio station, WNEW-FM.  In Philadelphia he was more known as the host of an afternoon show that again featured B-horror movies.  In NY my friends and I would go to concerts in NY and after the show switch on WNEW-FM and Zacherle for the ride back to Jersey.  I will miss him.  R.I.P.

I liked Omega very much.  Played them on SPACE PIRATE RADIO and the other DJs thought I was insane.  Perhaps they were right.  But my life seemed richer for it.
