Ravi Shankar, 92, complications following a heart valve replacement.
If you haven't seen Ravi Shankar's performance at the 1967 Monterey Pop Festival, you really should do so.

A great loss to the world of music. Still more distressing is the fact that a very old friend of mine is going in for the same valve replacement surgery very soon. She is considerably younger than he was, but still.

English isn't much of a language for swearing. When I studied Ancient Greek I was delighted to discover a single word - Rhaphanidosthai - which translates roughly as "Be thou thrust up the fundament with a radish for adultery."

Death died 2012 years ago today, because Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior was born, so that man shall not perish, but shall have everlasting life in Heaven. Amen.

I feel bad about this, Thunderbirds was an integral part of my childhood. I was tempted to buy the boxset last year. He had enough imagination for a dozen people.
