Aside: has anyone heard that Frankenstein’s Monster version, where it is the studio version for 90% of it, then it cuts (poorly, I might add) to some live version (not the “One More From the Road” version, from what I can tell)? I want to shoot my radio when I hear it. Might call my radio station and complain like a proper old man instead.
Live version is better IMO anyway. “Play it pretty for Atlanta” and the dueling guitar solos (duet?). I might have worn out my brother’s Side 4 LP.

That reminds me of the Wilford Brimley Cocoon line. Remember the movie Cocoon when a bunch of old farts got invigorated by swimming in a pool with alien cocoon? Wilford Brimley seemed really old then. He was 50 IRL when that movie was released.

Moore was not in the spotlight like Jobs, Gates or Zuckerberg but he was a tech giant and brilliant. RIP.
I’d be willing to bet that by 2025, he’ll be twice as dead.

Officially just missing, but almost certainly RIP given the conditions:
Chuck Morris, drummer for Lotus, and his son disappeared kayaking. Lotus was a former entry of mine in the BotB on the AO. RIP.
RIP Keith Reid, 76, lyricist.
Wrote the words to one of the most famous rock songs of all time, A Whiter Shade of Pale, by Procol Harum.

The song from the David Bowie movie Merry Christmas, Mr Lawrence (which Sakamoto also starred in) was one of my favorites.
RIP Al Jaffee, Mad Magazine cartoonist. Creator of the infamous fold-in pics. I enjoyed Mad Magazine a lot growing up.
