You raping his corpse doesn't make him gay dude. Kidding, great character actor in a ton of stuff. Loved him in The Crow.
Phyllis Schafly died on Monday. A smart, wily, driven woman, it's a shame she didn't use her powers for good. http://www.nytimes.com/2016/09/06/o...ve-leader-and-foe-of-era-dies-at-92.html?_r=0
Alexis Arquette, of the huge acting family. The only thing I remember seeing him in was the 90s movie Threesome, starring Stephen Baldwin. So, sort-of famous.
He's was the guy who missed Travolta and Jackson with the .44 ambush in Pulp Fiction. Usually he was known for being a transvestite, and who went from actor to actress.
Two great writers in one day. W.P. Kinsella (Shoeless Joe) and Edward Albee (Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf). Goddamn the grim reaper is a mean bitch this year. Kinsella had a doctor-assisted suicide. The same thing Dr. Jack got to rot in prison for.
Mandoza . He was only 38. Esophageal cancer apparently. For some context on his importance to the South African music industry, this would, for Canadians, be the equivalent to the members of Rush suddenly dropping dead.
Desmond Tutu. 2016 can eat balls with this casualty rate. Edit: not all news outlets are reporting it. http://t1meslive.co.za/sad-news-desmond-tutu-dead-at-84-after-readmission-on-saturday/
Snopes says it's not true. http://www.snopes.com/2016/09/19/desmond-tutu/ And your link does have a "1" in it rather than an "i." So let's think good thoughts.
Jose Fernandez. 24 years old. http://www.cnn.com/2016/09/25/us/mlb-pitcher-jose-fernandez-dead/index.html
http://pitchfork.com/thepitch/1313-heard-but-not-seen-how-rod-temperton-changed-pop/ Apparently Rod Temperton died last week. He wrote a song or two.
Thank Christ this fucking year is over soon.... http://www.rollingstone.com/music/news/leonard-cohen-dead-at-82-w449792
I saw him in London, Ontario, in 2012, and it was an amazing show. He went through a lot of shit in his life, and I'm sorry to see him go.
Canada's Bob Dylan. He was our best poet and a once-in-a-generation writer. "Hallelujah" has to be one of the most covered songs ever, Jeff Buckley's being my favourite version. This year has crushed the wick on so much musical talent it is insane. There's going to be no legends left by New Year's Eve. By, Lenny. You loved Cheetos.
