The sad face just was just not sad enough...

RIP Christine.... Your solo album was one of my favorites out of all of the Fleetwood side projects.

RIP Brian Duffy, aka Jet Black.  Longtime drummer for The Stranglers, though he retired in 2015.

Got to meet him and the band back in 1982 or 83 when they played Boston.  A college dorm-mate worked as an intern for CBS records and we took the bassist to WZBC for an interview.  Then met the band back at the hotel, and after the show got backstage with them.  Jet was a very cool and interesting guy....

RIP, Angelo. Your music was a key character in my favorite TV show ever.

Wow. Seemed like a genuinely nice guy. And so sad for his young children and his wife. Curious as to cause.

RIP Twitch.

Sorry for the NY Post link, but apparently suicide: https://nypost.com/2022/12/14/stephen-twitch-boss-cause-of-death-revealed-following-autopsy/

That's even more shocking.

Yeah, that was disturbing. We used to watch him on SYTYCD when he was competing, and he seemed like a really nice guy. Sad.

Terry hall's story is amazing, and a bit tragic at times.  But loved his music and the fight he fought!  RIP.....

RIP Pelé. The GOAT.

RIP O Rei. One of the very best. It's a pity that most of you americans don't enjoy true football, we'd have something more in common.

Photographer Tony Vaccaro passed on his 100th birthday. The range of his photos, from war-time ugliness to his beautiful fashion images, is incredible & always thought provoking.
