Randy Weaver. Government protester of sorts.

To be honest, I didn't know Ricky Gardner's name. Tony Visconti referred to him as being great or brilliant, he must have been most of that.

Painter, recording artist, actor, singer, songwriter and Bob Dylan sidekick Bob Neuwirth has passed at the age of 82.  Bobby did some great free style acting in Dylan's Don't Look Back and Renaldo and Clara movies.  That was him (from the waist down) standing behind Dylan, holding a camera, on the Highway 61 Revisited album cover.

R.I.P. Vangelis

I saw Blade Runner on it's opening weekend.

Great music for a great movie.  Before Covid, it would usually be shown once a year or so in the artsy-type theaters.  I hope they start doing it again soon.  “Blade Runner” is one of those movies well worth enjoying on the big screen.

Vangelis, the Visionary, was able to "paint" color with his compositions.

Bo also played a delightfully crooked detective, working with the Turkish police in Midnight Express, plus several Sam Peckinpah movies.
