May he finally rest in peace. May his surviving family find peace. Alzheimer’s is a terrible way to go for the deceased and the survivors.

I don’t care that he is not a celebrity, Bernard Kenny deserves to be remembered for trying to save Jo Cox’s life.

I wonder if he’ll start getting some respect as a filmmaker now.

Mireille Darc. Also, Jeanne Moreau (last month, but somehow not mentioned here; how did that happen?). Two wonderful French actresses.

I’m astounded that he was only 67. Somehow they always seemed old.

Odd, I was just playing some Steely Dan a couple nights ago. Hadn’t listened to them for ages.

It was a long time before I could tolerate Steely Dan, much less enjoy them. I’ve posted here before about being in elementary school, around the time Gaucho came out, and we had a very irascible gym teacher who made us line dance to “Peg” and “Hey Nineteen.” I could not hear Steely Dan without imagining her going apoplectic, ranting raving and shrieking (at all of us) over some perceived infraction (committed – or not – by one of us). When I found out what “Steely Dan” meant it raised them in my estimation some, but it wasn’t until I was listening to large doses of both jazz and R&B that I liked their music at all. They’ve since become one of my favorites.

Something surreal about that I think they’d appreciate.
I can’t hear Eddie Money’s “Two Tickets to Paradise” without reflexively jerking into jumping jacks.
