No mention of George Crumb?

I performed his Star Child some years ago as part of the male chorus. The piece is a freaking logistical nightmare for a conductor with multiple ensembles doing multiple things in multiple time signatures from multiple locations, but the overall effect if pulled off is amazing.

George Crumb was mentioned in Post #390.

P.J O’Rourke dead at 74.

Dammit, he was the only Republican Iiked. I loved him on Wait Wait Don’t Tell Me.

I knew him best as Mike Tandino in Beverly Hills Cop. He always seemed like a lovable rogue.

Wow. Can’t believe that I got him confused with James Russo, who played Mike Tandino.

.Congressman Jim Hagedorn (R-Minnesota) has died at 59.

My former rep. Will leave my comments in P&E

Brian

Leo Fong died today at age 93.

I think without RedLetterMedia’s Best of the Worst show, he would have died to no wide notice. But they discovered(re-discovered?) his movies, which were really bad in many ways, but hilarious in their own ways.

An Asian-American directing and starring in his own NOT martial-arts movies in the 1980’s. He played cops and stuff, nothing particularly Asian in most of the movies I have seen.

I heard he was also friends with Bruce Lee at one point.
