Oliver Sacks

Just started reading his memoir, On the Move: A Life, last week after a conversation with Reks about how I needed to read more of his stuff. Also loved Awakenings, of course, and enjoyed The Man Who Mistook His Wife l For a Hat, and Musicophilia.

I was just coming in here to post that.  He helped my sisters a lot during my mother's declining final months and years.  There's also this beautiful article which he wrote himself:

RIP Dr Sacks. I had read about his disease weeks or months ago and I assumed he had passed away already

RIP Dr. Sacks.

Also from a couple days ago, RIP Al Arbour, hockey coach that led the NY Islanders to 4 straight Stanley Cups.

He also wore glasses as a player!

Antonio, when I was communicating with Reksy last week, I had referred to him in the past tense, as well. I had to be corrected that he was still alive.

Wes Craven passes at 76.

RIP Wes. Probably the biggest horror influence for me early on. Without his later work I would not have learned to appreciate film, let alone horror, as early as I did. Dude sure knew what he was doing. 

RIP Wes.....didn't always love his movies personally, but respected the heck out of him and his work.

RIP Wes!

A guide to the dark corners of human kind.

 

RIP Martin Milner and Judy Carne, who were big parts of my TV youth in different ways.

     

Wow, memories indeed Al.....RIP to both......

 

Memories for us older folk. RIP.

 Catching up late with this but for those who enjoyed his work I'd highly recommend checking out the last interview that he did for Radiolab.

Or if you want to experience like I first did have a listen to this - http://www.radiolab.org/story/radiolab-live-telltale-hearts-featuring-oliver-sacks/ - which includes not only the interview but related stories that Radiolab assembled for a live performance.

 

Gosh, now Moses Malone, another legendary basketball player.  Just 60 years old...
