I thought the headline read John Romero.

Chester Bennington, lead singer of Linkin Park, reportedly committed suicide. I spent a significant part of my angsty childhood listening to his angsty screaming, so that makes me a bit sad.

Well, in the end it doesn't really matter.

 

Or

 

His wounds did not heal.

John Heard

 

He was in the 1979 PBS adaption of The Scarlet Letter as Arthur Dimsdale (Meg Foster was Hester Prynne) which is my first encounter with him as an actor that I can recall.  Saw him in many things over the years though, (Cat People, C.H.U.D., and a number of TV guest appearances like Law and Order: SVU, CSI: Miami, The Equalizer and Miami Vice off the top of my head)

Peter Principle, leader of Tuxedomoon, died this week. Quoting a friend of mine, the band was one of the post-punk giants and the whole post-punk revival would have been way more interesting had the revivalists chosen to imitate them as well as Joy Division.

 

 

 

Also Red West last week. I'm not extremely versed in his filmography but all the same I thought he was great in Ramin Brahrani's Goodbye Solo. And of course his Elvis songs.

Sam Shepard:

 

 

Quote
"Hommage à la résistance et peu importe quelle soit vaine,
Aux sacrifices qui ont le goût du sang gâté,
À nos camarades, on n'oubliera jamais!
Au seigneur abominable de cette terre,
écoutez ces mots qui comptent le récit d'une longue défaite!"
 
-The Long Defeat, 2022

It's always kind of surprising to see how many names were in Black Hawk Down.

Maybe not celebrity celebrity, but..   Corey Gaspur passed away.

 

 


During his time at BioWare, Gaspur worked as a designer on Sonic Chronicles, Dragon Age: Origins, Mass Effect 2, and Mass Effect 3. Most recently, he served as the lead designer on BioWare's new IP, Anthem, which was announced at E3.
