RIP someone or another

[Dusty Chalk]

RIP Clyde Stubblefield, he of "Funky Drummer" fame

[Craig Sawyers]

Although he died on 8th Feb aged 83, RIP Peter Mansfield, Nobel prizewinner for invention of MRI

[Torpedo]

RIP Mr Mansfield. I remember the days when MRI were ultraexpensive and you needed to fill a lot of paperwork when one of your patients was needing one.

[Dusty Chalk]

RIP

Sent from my mind using id, ego, or superego...

[Dusty Chalk]

RIP Larry Coryell, jazz guitarist, godfather of fusion

[Torpedo]

Shit!   RIP, Larry Coryell.

[skullguise]

RIP Larry.....incredible legacy.

[Voltron]

JP introduced me to his music. RIP Mr. Coryell.

[ironbut]

Got my intro to modern jazz with A Genuine Tong Funeral from the Gary Burton Quintet with Coryell.

Although I never had the pleasure of seeing him live, the favorite solo album of his was Spaces with John McLaughlin. 

RIP Larry Coryell!

Fucking Alan Colmes died at age 66. Holy shit. I had no idea that he was sick. RIP... he was a good man.

Didn't really know him/his work too well.  But anyone that puts up with Hannity that long must be nearly a saint!

I like his line: "You fight fire with water" (instead of fight fire with fire).

RIP

RIP Bill Paxton... http://www.cnn.com/2017/02/26/entertainment/bill-paxton-dead/index.html?adkey=b

Wow... 61 way too young.

[robm321]

RIP Bill Paxton, so young.

[TMoney]

RIP, Bill Paxton.

I've always enjoyed his campiness.

 

[Craig Sawyers]

RIP Bill Paxton - forgot he was in so much until I looked at IMdB. Same age as me, and that in itself is scary.

[Torpedo]

RIP Bill Paxton. Too young

[ironbut]

Wow!

RIP Bill Paxton.

He was at the forefront of a generation of actors that I've always felt close to for some reason.

Very sad.

[swt61]

Wow! RIP Bill.

 

[skullguise]

Indeed, wow, too young.  RIP.....

[sbelyo]

RIP "Hudson"  Gotta watch some Big Love now

[EdipisReks1]

Whenever Paxton was in a movie, you could be sure that it would be at least 20% better than it otherwise would be, even if his role was small.  Maybe my favorite contemporary character actor.  What a fucking shame.

[Hopstretch]

Liked him a lot in a lot of things.

RIP Bill.

[Grahame]

RIP Bill.

Game Over, man. Indeed.

[guzziguy]

RIP Bill Paxton.

Also, RIP Judge Wapner.  At least he made it to 97.

[skullguise]

RIP Judge Wapner.  I didn't watch Peoples' Court a lot, but he seemed so much better than the Reality-Drama Court TV on now.

My favorite ever episode featured a couple members of the band Surf Punks.  Sadly, they lost, as they didn't take things seriously.
