Initially thought that Tina Weymouth had suddenly died or something, but this is actually a very clever " Words And Pictures" reference for dear old Henry Woolf.

Alvin Lucier, lying in a grave (hopefully) different to the one you're in now.

There *must* be a band out there called Alvin Lucifer, Shirley?

Blue Jam

Do you think Alvin Lucier's most famous work was also inspiration for the Teacher's voice on those Charlie Brown/ Peanuts cartoons?

Norton Canes

All afternoon I've been tempted to call Mrs Canes and go "Sher's dead!" but I fear divorce might ensue

After hearing his totally-authentic-sounding English northern accent in that series, I was gobsmacked to learn he was South African.

Forum favourite Dave Draper, "The Blond Bomber", dead at 79.



"When I got to America and finally met Dave, I learned his heart was as big as his pecs," Schwarzenegger said. :)

We're wending our way through the Monkees' tv show, and he makes an appearance there, as well (as 'Bulk' in 'I was a 99lb Weakling' from the first series).

And yet no tribute from Micky Dolenz: "Dave's talent was the size of his glutes."

Fast forward a few years a "mumbly Joe" does win the election.


Yes I've heard of the Tits building. But that wasn't its original name.

Looks like the act of staying alive went tits up for him.

One of his major areas of study was the Kneser-Tits problem (slightly NSFW).

Kneser-Tits, Kneser-Tits!
He's Ebekneser-Tits!

Reference to Peter Cook's statement, when George told him he was going to be ok as he was being taken away in an ambulance (prior to his death)?

That's Rock 'n' Roll, Man. RIP.
