A minor local celebrity, Dr. Max Gomez, dies at age 72. Article says he shared his medical issues, but doesn't list a cause of death. I liked him. He seemed straight up.
Some songs carry me back more than others to a specific moment in time. This is one of them.
It’s impossible to overstate how ubiquitous it was. Later on I discovered Spooky Tooth — an impulse purchase in a used record store, and an antidote to the earlier overexposure. I became a Gary Wright fan.
I knew he had played on All Things Must Pass, and so must’ve been a buddy of George Harrison, but Harrison’s spiritual influence on Wright (recounted in this Times obituary) was news to me.
They moved away some time ago, but I’m sure some people remember Anita and Irwin Wolk (of local corrugated cardboard fame.) I’m sad to to pass on the news of Irwin’s death last week:
Irwin was my David’s cousin, via my FIL’s mother and her relatives. Such a joy to know the Wolks, of all generations, and to have met Irwin and Nita when they visited here. I think Nita may have known Joan in one of their volunteering circles? We’ll miss them both, and keep their memories shining brightly.
Him and Joanna Lumley in Sapphire & Steel were phenomenal. Just the creepiest TV I've ever seen, and it was broadcast at 7pm, just before Coronation Street! By no means should kids have been watching this, but we all did.
Less well-known fact about McCallum was that he recorded a few albums in the 60s, too (not usually as a vocalist, but as a musician and conductor. On one of those albums, titled Music: A Bit More of Me, the second from last track is called The Edge.
It was sampled by Dr. Dre for his collab with Snoop Dogg "The Next Episode"

Never My Love is one of my handful of favorite "sunshine pop" era songs. I stream it pretty regularly. Wasn't familiar with the individuals in group but sorry to hear about this.

For me, he will always be Badger, from 'The Wind i the Willows'. The very next time this happens, I shall be exceedingly upset! Rik Mayall as Toad, Alan Bennet as Mole, and Michael Palin as Ratty. The perfect casting, in the best adaptation of one of my favourite books. Maggie Smith intro'd and outro'd in a short live section. I must have seen it a thousand times back when my kids were small, and loved every time.
I just watched 'Willows' again, and I was wrong = the intro-outro/narrator was Vanessa Redgrave. If you've never seen the movie, you really should I was amazed all over again. Never have U identified with a fictional character as much as I do with Moley. Though I'm not sure I can ever forgive him for stopping Ratty from following his dream and migrating South.

The “Harry Potter” franchise is beloved around the world, and the loss of anyone connected to it has been met with mourning.
More than two dozen actors from the “Potter” films have died in the two decades since the franchise began, most recently Michael Gambon. The actor, who starred as Albus Dumbledore in the films, died of pneumonia this week at age 82.
If you were at all into comic books in the 80s, 90s and beyond, Keith Giffen is a name you’ll remember. He had a unique style of drawing and also a penchant for genre-tweaking humor. Died at 70.
He wrote his own final social media post and asked his family to post it, er, post-mortem (he might have appreciated the grim humor).
