Bring Out Your Dead! The celebrity death thread....
Gosh.
Now that was a productive career.

Freeman Dyson, whose essays in The New Yorker and other periodicals were clarifying, and always fascinating, must-reads on anything related to the hard sciences.

David Roback, known for Mazzy Star. I never listened to Mazzy Star, but Emergency Third Rail Power Trip, from his earlier band Rain Parade, was one of those spontaneous buys that became an all-time favorite. All because I heard this song on the college station.
We’ve just watched Soundbreaking (series) and a series on rock and roll inventions; he was in them talking about the technical advances that influenced him as a child, then as a teen and evolving band member. His passion for music and social change was clear to see.

I found his TV interview show fascinating. He was such an odd but compelling person.

Neutron Jack.
I didn't know he died until I saw your post.
Jack was hailed as "Manager of the Century" and a business genius but I think his legacy has been diminished significantly by the collapse of GE since he left.

This was a big favorite from my college days. What a band. Billy Cobham, Ron Carter, Hubert Laws.
RIP dude.
RIP Max Von Sydow.
Damn, so many great movies, and so many bad ones made better by him being in them.
Didn’t he play Jesus once? Seemed to have escaped that particular curse.
Yes, in The Greatest Story Ever Told.
Apparently Von Sydow's son was a big fan of SCTV at the time, thus his appearance in the masterpiece "Strange Brew."
I may have to watch "Flash Gordon" again soon.
He was great. The scene in Three Days of the Condor where he tries to convince Robert Redford to flee the U.S. and make a life for himself in Europe and, failing that, describes the scenario by which "they" will come to get Redford one day, has a such a powerful wistfulness about it for me.
Ming the Merciless is dead. RIP. Von Sydow was one of those actors who I basically figured died sometime in the past 10-20 years, and so when he just now died I was, like, "Huh, I figured he was dead."
With that in mind, Olivia de Havilland is alive and pushing 104.
RIP Genesis P-Orridge. The Godfather and Godmother of industrial music.
Don Burrows, of Galapagos Duck and more. Aged 91 years.
A very sad loss to good music.
