^ It always brings a smile to my face when I think of the way he said "Tracheo-oesophageal fistula" in MASH.
 
I always liked him in Outbreak - I feel like that is a movie that is overlooked a lot!
 
RIP James Earl Jones, age 93.

He's already immortal to all of us. But it's a sad day all the same.
 
Awww, I still remember when James Earl Jones was in the prime of his life!



Also RIP Herbie Flowers. Player of perhaps the greatest bassline ever:


For which he was paid £17.

Couple of other killer bass lines from Flowers:

RON ELY.

Doc Savage. Tarzan. Superman.
Rest in Peace.

 
Phil Lesh has died. Founding member and bass player of the Grateful Dead. I spent some time with him in the 80s when I was dating a relative of a band member and he was always genuinely nice to me. He also sat in with my BIL’s band several times.

Such a long, long time to be gone
And a short time to be there
 
Quincy Jones has passed away at the age of 91. An absolute legend of a music producer, composer, and more. Working with the likes of Frank Sinatra, to Michael Jackson (including Thriller, the best-selling album ever), to numerous compositions of his own for both album and film - including the Austin Powers theme of all things, he leaves behind a massive and successful legacy.

 
Jim Abrahams has passed away, at the age of 80.

He had a hand, either in writing or directing, of so many comedies such as Airplane, The Kentucky Fried Movie, The Naked Gun (and the original Police Squad show), Top Secret, and both Hot Shots films.

His work has given me so much laughter over the years, and I think especially Airplane and Naked Gun will continue to be standouts of the genre for decades to come. His legacy is immortal.

That's no way for a man to die. A parachute not opening... that's a way to die. Getting caught in the gears of a combine... having your nuts bit off by a Laplander, that's the way I wanna go!
 
I was tempted to post this, but felt it may have been inappropriate. But now that the floodgates are open...
