I'm with OLM on the Ian Curtis thing. I also found it interesting. Closer is still one of my favorite albums and it always makes me sad thinking about Ian's passing.
Bit of a month this - it's only the 11th, and here's another one: Free Jazz saxophonist Ornette Coleman has died at the age of 85. R.I.P. Personally, Coltrane is more to my taste....
To those Wrestling fans out there, legend 'The American Dream' Dusty Rhodes has passed away today also, at the age of 69.
@TripleH: Saddened to hear the passing of Dusty Rhodes. Legend, teacher, mentor, friend...Love you Dream #BookinAintEasyKid http://t.co/ZxlGSgKB8J
Sad news about Christopher Lee. Not a fan of Lord Of the Rings or the newer Star Wars but he made it a bit more watchable. Don't think he should've been wrote out of the last LOTR film. Anyway it's all about Gremlins 2. Sterling performance by him On a serious note- Man with the Golden Gun & the original Wicker Man were brilliant.
Lee and Ewan McGregor were the only actors who came out of those Star Wars prequels with any credibility. He's in the extended version of Return of the King - though it is only at the beginning, and he gets his comeuppance. It is a scene that should've stayed in the original cut, despite how long the film was anyways. Scaramanga is ace, still one of the best Bond baddies. Golden Gun IMO is the best Moore Bond film.
Wonder if Christopher Lees heavy metal album is on Spotify, will have a look later, r.i.p to a great iconic actor
Been announced on Facebook (and other sources) that Rue McLanahan, one of the "Golden Girls" passed away today after a major stroke. Bit strange as she died 5 years ago of a brain hemorrhage.
