I remember getting turned on to Minsky years back when I read on Isaac Asimov's wikipedia page that the only people Asimov admitted were smarter than him were Carl Sagan and Minsky.

I agree with Craig that 88 is a damn good run.

I think I totally missed Richie Havens when it happened....or more likely, can't remember shit.

Dusty, that has more than a "touch" of melancholy, thanks for posting it.  I wasn't familiar with them/him (Colin Vearncombe), very sad to read it was from an accident and he was in a coma.  And only 53....

RIP all....

Him -- he went by 'Black'.  And it's like the opposite of the Cardigans' "Love Fool" (the latter being the saddest happy sounding song, the former being the happiest sad sounding song) -- the lyrics aren't that melancholy, that's why I said a touch.  Also to explain why I liked the song so much.
