Fuck. My favorite thing at the Walker Art Center. :frowning:

I got dragged there a lot growing up. Didn’t care for much of the indoor permanent collection, nor many of the traveling exhibits, but the outdoor collection is sublime. Great small performance venue, too.

I may have had intermittent tinnitus ever since that day.

I knew him mainly as my favorite bass player from Miles Davis’ band (something I made sure to tell him when I spoke to him once-- he seemed to enjoy hearing that).

He also played Gul Madred in the Star Trek: the Next Generation two-part episode Chain of Command, and very nearly broke Captain Picard into seeing five lights.

Very sad to hear this.

Jack the Ripper in 1970s San Francisco in Time After Time. He was perfectly evil.
