RIPs

John Hurt had a great range as an actor. He went from the marginalised; to the deformed; to the oppressed; to the funny; to the sad.  There were ever so many seminal moments in his career but his marked impact as Winston Smith in 1984 rescued that movie.  His portrayal of the utterly amoral Scottish Noble in Rob Roy was also in my opinion one of his finest performances, of which there were ever so many.  A sad passing.

Not to mention bassist and singer in the stunning 73/74 line-up of King Crimson wot delivered one of my favourite albums of all time, the monumental and haunting Red.

[JOE SOAP]

Yeah - I generally don't like Prog but I've absolutely loved Red for years and loved John Wetton as a player in that era of King Crimson. He was preternaturally good and very musical; so good it eventually knackered his fingers. The best sounding bass in the universe.

Joost van der Westhuizen the excellent South African Rugby player has passed away aged 45.
He had motor neurone disease and was an amazing ambassador fighting this terrible disease and a true inspiration. R.I.P.

[Something Fishy]

Very sad indeed.  He was superb.  It was very sad to see his decline.  RIP.

Hans Rosling at 68. One of the more recent additions to my list of all-time heroes, but one of the most important. His work was inspirational and terrifying in equal measure, but ultimately full of hope and purpose. The world should be focusing its finite energies on his crisply defined projections and suggestions, instead of short-sighted sectarian hatreds and the cruel greedy narcissists they empower.  RIP.

There's no greater tribute than to say he was entirely out of step with the times in which we find ourselves. What a legacy ^[1].

Just seen this on CBR too.  Currently rewatching the original series.  A quality slice of nostalgia.
