Think about it. All those years people were watching Cosby, he was drugging and raping

Same with Simpson. All those years you saw him as "a great guy", he was raping and beating women.

Sociopaths know how to fool people. They even get a thrill out of doing so.

Damn, Dickey Betts made it to age 80! Never would have guessed that.

The music world is a vastly better place for Betts and Duane Allman playing guitar in the same band



And here's a a favorite from the post-Duane Allman era:

Probably one of my all-time favorite concerts.

Holy shit! You likely saw the beginnings of Journey in Santana's band (Gregg Rolie, Neil Schon) and one of the more underappreciated drummers of all time (Michael Shrieve) that night as well!

A subscriber has pointed out that :ff: has not yet taken note of the death of Daniel Dennett.

Of course, the members have acted entirely in accordance with their free will to post now and not before. This is fully deterministic.

Vale, Steve. An inspiration and influence - in his music, his engineering, and his uncompromising attitude towards music industry exploitation and bullshit.

And, sometimes, they're not famous until they're dead.

And then there was Roger Corman.
Roger Corman was known as the "King of the B's,..."

famous quote: A running gag in Hollywood was that Corman could negotiate the production of a film on a pay phone, shoot the film in the booth, and finance it with the money in the change slot.

Corman was a genius of the Low end 'B' movie in the '60

And then there was "The Trip"

Morgan Spurlock, 53.

Quote:
Since he exposed the fast-food and chicken industries [in the “Super Size Me” films], there was an explosion in restaurants stressing freshness, artisanal methods, farm-to-table goodness and ethically sourced ingredients. But nutritionally not much has changed.

“There has been this massive shift and people say to me, ‘So has the food gotten healthier?’ And I say, ‘Well, the marketing sure has,’” he told the AP in 2019.
