I heard about it a day ago, that is so fucked. With Pascal Perez as well, what is with retired athletes being murdered back in their home countries? Camacho was a boxer made of pure heart. Fucking senseless bullshit.

Dave Brubeck, amazing jazz pianist. Damn. http://www.chicagotribune.com/entertainment/music/chi-dave-brubeck-dead-20121205,0,7126256.column
The unfortunate thing about this is inspires idiots to post shit about "RIP Dave Brubeck, you were one of the greats!" when I know a good chunk of them don't listen to jazz and couldn't name a Brubeck song if you paid them. And admittedly, while I know the man and his talents, I certainly couldn't and I'm not a jazz fan really, so I won't be saying it. For some reason, that sort of music posturing in a public forum always annoys me. Similar to random 20-something rock guitarists always saying they idolized Robert Johnson or old southern Blues musicians. I know they aren't all music nerds like Jack White. At least be honest and say Eddie Van Halen or something. /rant
Jack Klugman, aka Oscar Madison, aka Quincy, M.E. Charles Durning (The Sting, Tootsie, O Brother Where Art Thou).
Charles Durning was one of the hardest-working character actors who ever lived. Usually playing surly or scummy characters with brio. You might best know him as:
Not to mention a certified World War II hero. Now I wonder if he'll appear to Burt Reynolds as a Force Ghost. "Burt, you must stop making crappy movies and go to the Dagobah System." Also, if you haven't seen them in Sharky's Machine, you're doing yourself a huge injustice.

Tony Greig. Damn. I last heard him just a few weeks ago when England were playing India. He was well-known by Australian, English and South African cricket fans - he was born in S.A., played for and captained England and commentated for +- 3 decades in Australia and South Africa and for just about every major international cricket tournament. R.I.P.
