I stated earlier how it’s been a tough year for country music with the passing of beloved legends.

So it is for classic rock music. This one’s a shock.

The first member of the “classic lineup” (John McVie, Mick Fleetwood, Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham were the others) to pass.

RIP, Christine McVie.

Brian

Grant Wahl 1974-2022

We've lost a lot of greats this year (in whatever the greats have done in their lifetime).  I'll get to some of the recent ones eventually.  Of course, and sadly, we lose a lot of big time people every year.

It may be fair to say that this one may be the most painful overall on a global scale.  As mentioned elsewhere, Wahl was the soccer version of a Peter King or a David Aldridge or any great journalist in and out of the sports world.

He was known of course for being the ref in that infamous Bite Fight in 1997 between Tyson and Holyfield (Tyson of course having been DQd for biting both of Holyfield's ears, and quite viciously as well).

Angelo Badalamenti, composer for Twin Peaks, Blue Velvet, Mullholland Drive, and other David Lynch collaborations, passed at 85.

Cue the sad music signifying something terrible has happened.
Quote from: Bill Todman
"The sign of a good game, is when you don't have to explain it every day. The key is not simplicity, but apparent simplicity. Password looks like any idiot could have made it up, but we have 14 of our people working on that show. There is a great complexity behind the screen. It requires great work to keep it simple."

I remember that moment of that episode very well. Very hilarious segment! That was actually Fik-shun (DuShaunt is his real name).
