    Singer and bassist John Wetton of the rock group Asia has died. He was 67.

    He rose to fame as part of English rock band King Crimson in the 1970s.

    Canadian radio icon Stuart Mclean checked out at 68. Spent a lot of family road trips as a kid listening to him telling stories.

    Norma McCorvey, who was Jane Roe in the 1973 case Roe v. Wade that legalized abortion in the U.S.

    An interesting irony: Neither Norma McCorvey nor Sandra Cano, who was Doe in Doe v. Bolton, the other abortion case decided in the Supreme Court the same day, ever had an abortion.

    I wonder if he was shot by his neighbor in Utah for destroying his marriage? Or possibly his belt broke when an F5 tornado broke out. That's why you want a real leather one.

    The most successful box office actor ever. Look at the hits he was in.

    Best death scene. EVER. In Aliens.

    One of the funniest performances EVER. In True Lies.

    Directed Frailty, a MARVELOUS psychological horror film.

    Just one of the most genuinely likeable and dependable actors, period. Prolific and never phoning it in. It really sucks to think he's gone just like that.

    Raymond Kopa, passed away at the age of 85. One of the finest footballers France ever produced. Won the World Player Of The Year in 1958, won 2 La Liga titles and 3 European Cups with Real Madrid, 4 Ligue 1 (France's top tier) titles with Stade Reims and the Bronze medal at the 1958 World Cup.

    Murray Ball at 78, the creator of Footrot Flats. Spent many an hour reading his comics or watching this movie when I was younger.
