RIP, Robert Pirsig. http://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2017/04/24/525443040/-zen-and-the-art-of-motorcycle-maintenance-author-robert-m-pirsig-dies-at-88?utm_source=facebook.com&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=npr&utm_term=nprnews&utm_content=20170424

(Really liked that book, and should read it again sometime. It's been a long, long time.)

[TMoney]

Oh no!

Zen is one of the books that I can honestly say changed my life. Pirsig was a genius.

RIP.

[grawk]

Yup, Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance was one of the main influences of my life in my early 20s.

[jvlgato]

Ditto.

That old paperback is and has been a foot away from me on my bookshelf, every morning as I ride my old man exercise bike.

Jonathan Demme

Brilliant director of Stop Making Sense, IIRC

[TMoney]

RIP, Mr. Demme.

Silence of the Lambs and Stop Making Sense are two of my favorite movies.

[skullguise]

Oh, wow.....RIP......he did a lot with music as well......

RIP J Demme!

What a great and influential filmmaker. 

 

[Voltron]

RIP Maestro Demme instead.

2014 is calling that it wants Gabo back again?

Yikes. I hate it when that happens.

RIP Col. Bruce Hampton.

In my early days I used to drop by the Twelfth Gate coffee house and groove on the antics of The Hampton Grease Band.

I still have their double lp "Music to Eat".

RIP Robert Miles.

I wonder how many times this has been used as a backing track elsewhere? Got to be in the millions.

 

[skullguise]

RIP to Col. Hampton and Robert Miles.....and yeah, Stretch, I seem to hear that sampled song a lot in the background.....

[Grahame]

RIP Robert Miles, 47, too soon.

RIP Geoffrey Bayldon http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-39885577 a British Actor, age 93

Catweazle was one of those must watch series from my pre-teen years. But he was also Q in Casino Royale and a number of other movies.

[HemiSam]

That's a heck of a run.  RIP, Mssr. Bayldon.

RIP Powers Boothe: http://time.com/4778685/powers-boothe-obituary-deadwood/?xid=time-amp-fbshare 

Thought he was great in Deadwood.

[Dusty Chalk]

RIP Powers. 

I was captivated by his portrayal of Jim Jones.

[HemiSam]

Damn....too young.  

RIP, Mr. Boothe!  You had a great voice and you carried your roles with presence.

HS

[skullguise]

I also remember him playing Jim Jones.  Chillingly good.....RIP......

[Pars]

Yep, RIP. Great in a lot of roles. Tombstone was another one. I also recall some movie where he was a B52 pilot in a nuclear war, didn't drop his bombs and just flying around waiting for fuel to run out at the end (world destroyed). Dawn's Early Light or something like that?
