Austin Majors passed away at the age of 27. He played "Theo," Andy Sipowicz's son, on NYPD Blue. He was wonderful in the show and so funny. Such a sad loss for his family.

If you are into Jazz, you might be interested to know that Wayne Shorter died.

If you are into horror, especially classic horror, the guy who played the Creature from the Black Lagoon died recently too:

Jim Gordon, talented drummer (Derek & The Dominoes), prolific session musician and.....for years an undiagnosed schizophrenic until he killed his mother, dies in prison at 77. A disturbing read: https://www.rollingstone.com/music/...ric-clapton-drummer-dead-obituary-1234697705/
I hope he felt differently about his mother over time. That is all very sad.

Lance Reddick has died. I adore "The Wire" and he was Lieutenant Daniels in that series but he was also known for the "John Wick" films and "Bosch" and other work.

Some white artists, like Elvis, exploit Black culture. So celebrate Bobby Caldwell, who enriched it

The author of this article mentions how he was shocked to find out that the singer of 1978's What You Won't Do For Love was white. The exact same thought went through my mind the other day when I saw on the news that Caldwell had passed away. He never repeated the success of that song, although his second album went gold in the U.S. and apparently he was big in Japan, with his first four albums there all going gold. His music was also featured in various movie soundtracks including Back to School ("Educated Girl"), Mac and Me ("Take Me, I'll Follow You"), and Salsa ("Puerto Rico").

I still hear that song a lot. It has staying power. RIP
