Mike Bossy, NHL/NY Islanders star died.
Must admit that Birtwhistle’s music is not really my thing - The Minotaur is a pretty heavy lift - but he was definitely an original.
Art Rupe, rock producer who produced Little Richard’s “Tutti Frutti” (after cleaning up the original lyrics) and was quintessential to bringing Black music to mainstream audiences.
Also,
TIL that there were original, possibly dirty lyrics to Tutti Frutti. Is this common knowledge? What did he have to clean up?
Accordingly to Wikipedia, the original lyrics were either:
Tutti Frutti, good booty
If it don’t fit, don’t force it
You can grease it, make it easy
or
Tutti Frutti, good booty
If it’s tight, it’s all right
And if it’s greasy, it makes it easy

This one makes me very sad.
Can’t find an unpaywalled link, but Erin Moran (Joanie Cunningham on Happy Days), was found dead from throat cancer. She was 56.
You are 5 years late on that one.
Well, hell. I saw it linked in a newspaper as though it were current and jumped to conclusions. The paywalling kept me from from examining the story closely.
Never mind!

Sadly for me I left him off my list because he was too young 
Mino Raiola, who made more to turn football (US: soccer) into a game of money and corruption than anyone not a member of FIFA or UEFA bar Vladimir Putin, has died today. He has been ill since January.
I am not sad. Except for not having him on my list, of course. 46 wasted points.

Was it suicide? They listed “mental illness” as the cause. I feel like if it was dementia, they would have said that specifically.
