You may be selling Jobs a bit short. He was the Thomas Edison of our time.
I can buy that analogy, and let's take it one step further. Dennis Ritchie is the Nikolai Tesla of our times (minus the weird stuff). I cannot fault anyone who would value Tesla over Edison.
AIG's brief bio is a bit kinder to Dr. Gish and not overly embellished with things that ought to anger proponents of evolution. I have no doubt that every word of it is true.
quote:Dr. Duane Gish is a man who, in addition to his accomplishments as a speaker and writer, is known by many as the foremost creationist debater in the world today. He has logged literally hundreds of thousands of miles in order to bring the truth of creation to adults and children alike. Dr. Gish's travels have taken him to virtually every state in the continental U.S. and into 25 foreign countries, including the Soviet Union.
....
Dr. Gish is not only a distinguished scientist, but also a gracious Christian gentleman.

The apathy of the people is enough to make every statue leap from its pedestal and hasten the resurrection of the dead. William Lloyd Garrison.
If there is no struggle, there is no progress. Those who profess to favor freedom, and deprecate agitation, are men who want crops without plowing up the ground, they want rain without thunder and lightning. Frederick Douglass
At the time I saw him in 1980 or so, I thought Rik was one of the funniest guys I've ever seen on TV. He and and Ade Edmondson were absolutely brilliant on the 'Young Ones'.

First of all, it just isn't right that the acknowledgement of Ms. Bacall does not include a single picture, so let's fix that.
Passing away in the same week Ms. Arlene Martel, who is probably best known for her portrayal as Mr. Spock's betrothed and as a bad genie on 'I dream of Genie'. Her son said that it was kind weird accompanying mom to fan shows because guys would have a crush on your mom because she’s a sci-fi babe from the ’60s.
Rest in Peace gals. The world's just that tiny bit less beautiful without you.

If you cannot get to all of those albums in one day, then hearing aid a dose of Station to Station and The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust as soon as you can.

Why does it seem that great musicians pass away in numbers. It's been another bad year for these folks.
Leon Russell, the longhaired, scratchy-voiced pianist, guitarist, songwriter and bandleader who moved from playing countless recording sessions to making hits on his own, died on Sunday in Nashville. He was 74.
Many of his songs became hits for others, among them Superstar (written with Bonnie Bramlett) for the Carpenters, Delta Lady for Mr. Cocker and This Masquerade for George Benson. More than 100 acts have recorded A Song for You, which Mr. Russell said he wrote in 10 minutes.

Sorry, I missed your post. Leon Russell was more of a behind the scenes guy, but I'll remember him best for his appearance in that Joe Cocker video for "The Letter".

quote:On December 13, 2016, Thicke collapsed while playing hockey with his son Carter at Pickwick Gardens in Burbank, California. The manager of the rink said he was talking and even joked to his son to take a photo as he was being wheeled out on a stretcher.[51] Thicke subsequently died of a heart attack at the Providence Saint Joseph Medical Center in Burbank, at the age of 69.
I did not realize this before today, but Alan Thicke was a successful songwriter primarily in the TV industry. But that's what I read on wikipedia.
2016 like many recent years has been the year of the demise of many performers and song writers only a fraction of whom have been mentioned on these pages. According to this site Musicians Who Died in 2016 - W’M we have lost 474 musicians so far.
Unfortunately stats like that will mean we can expect to lose a few more music heroes, with at least one more notable heavyweight in the short amount of time that 2016 has left. The last few weeks have included some heavy weights including Greg Lake, Lenny Cohen, and Leon Russell (no disrespect into to anyone I did not mention specifically).
I really hope a future David Bowie or Maurice White was born somewhere on this planet this year, because otherwise the universe is completely unfair.

quote:Glen Campbell, the upbeat guitarist from Delight, Arkansas, whose smooth vocals and down-home manner made him a mainstay of music and television for decades, has died, his family announced on Facebook on Tuesday. He was 81.
His music usually wasn't quite my cup of tea, but I do like this song. Folks from my era have had the curse of having to go through these times twice. Many great musicians passed away when we are young (Hendrix, Joplin, Morrison, Redding, etc.), and now we get to see many of the rest of them leave here. Enjoy...

Hopefully, this is not too over the top, but I feel particularly sad when musicians that I enjoy pass away, particularly when it is so early in life as it is for Dolores.
List of musicians that have passed away so far this year.
Dolores is for me, the most prominent person on this list. I am sure that others will have their own favorites.
Spelling corrected. Thanks Heathen. Hopefully the original message will get corrected too.
