Joseph Heller still dead, still at 76 (and other celebrity deaths): RIP Hank Aaron - Page 124 - The Lounge Discussion and Review on Literature, Arts, Culture

Peart was a pusher. He pushed the drum sticks. He was heavy handed. Musically speaking he was horrid. His ideas and phrasing were lumbering. His bass drumming was worse.

He is not in the same equation as a Buddy Rich.

you thought today was the right time to put forth your crappy opinion, huh?

The English philosopher Roger Scruton died Sunday. I don't know much about philosophy but Scruton seems to have been a fairly important cultural figure. One of those conservative types, the ones ya gotta watch out for.

5 GOAT rock drummers:

1) Mitch Mitchell
2) Ginger Baker
3) Mel Taylor
4) Keith Moon
5) Jack Bruce (Yeah yeah yeah, I know he wasn't a drummer, but he did as much, or more, with the beat as the above four. Ginger Baker is reputed to have pulled a knife on him during a performance, and I think I know why.)

RIP drummers everywhere.

Sweet brag.

I am not surprised that Buddy Rich bored you.

Charlie Callas is dead; January 27, 2011. Just for the record.

He's in Hell playing the bongo drums every Friday at the Storm Troopers Lounge.

Max Roach is top of the heap also: [more than just a "Jazz Drummer" and even more than just a drummer]

Barry Tuckwell was a model for me when young. While no drummer he was the preeminent French horn player, maybe of all time. Mozart’s four horn quartets is a good place to start

Joe Shishido, star of Seijun Suzuki's Branded to Kill, died at 86. What was supposed to be film noir ended up as a cult masterpiece of the absurd.

Note his iconic hitman up-the-drain shot 15 seconds into the trailer.

And now for something completely normal; one of the Monty Python Troupe dies. Sad nonetheless. RIP

Ugh. Terry Jones and the rest of Monty Python are heroes of mine. They are just all so brilliant. It's like a piece of my youth has died.

Nobody does drag like Terry Jones!

At least Graham has company now.

Jim Lehrer died, PBS news guy for years and years. I always liked him, Texas boy. Old school journalist type, seemed like a good guy.
