I feel like we're losing a legend every week these days. The man left a hell of a mark on this world. RIP

Yeah, get used to it. So many of the truly notable contributors in the arts from the last sixty years are hitting their elderly years. Many more of them will unfortunately probably be leaving us this decade.
