Not sure the COD at this point, but Mike Clattenberg, creator of Trailer Park Boys mentioned it on his twitter today.

R.I.P. Rita McNeil
Cape Breton mourns Rita MacNeil: 'She had the guts to get up and do what she did' - The Globe and Mail



While not a big fan of her music. I will always remember her from her cameo on Trailer Park Boys.

"Ricky, you're forcing Rita McNeil and her band to harvest dope at gunpoint. You could be a little fucking nicer!"

Storm Thorgerson

BBC News - Pink Floyd album designer Storm Thorgerson dies

Quote:
A childhood friend of the founding members of the band, he became their designer-in-chief, fashioning a string of eye-catching creations.

He designed the cover showing a prism spreading a spectrum of colour for The Dark Side Of The Moon.

His credits also include albums by Led Zeppelin, Peter Gabriel and Muse.

His family released a statement saying he died peacefully on Thursday surrounded by family and friends.

"He had been ill for some time with cancer though he had made a remarkable recovery from his stroke in 2003," it said.

"He is survived by his mother Vanji, his son Bill, his wife Barbie Antonis and her two children Adam and Georgia."

Pink Floyd guitarist and vocalist Dave Gilmour released a statement in which he said the artworks Thorgerson created for the band had been "an inseparable part of our work".

He said: "We first met in our early teens. We would gather at Sheep's Green, a spot by the river in Cambridge and Storm would always be there holding forth, making the most noise, bursting with ideas and enthusiasm. Nothing has ever really changed.

"He has been a constant force in my life, both at work and in private, a shoulder to cry on and a great friend. I will miss him."

I had a chance to meet Richie on two separate occasions and each time he was so gracious and full of positive energy. He actually autographed my ex-wife's belly while she was pregnant with my daughter. He will be terribly missed.

Richie's opening set at Woodstock was one of the most memorable performances I've ever seen!
I read an interview with him many years ago, where he mentioned that the event organizers had told him to perform a longer than usual set because a lot of the acts were having a difficult time getting to the festival.
He said he finally ran out of songs, so he started improvising on the spot and came up with the song "Freedom."
That's the type of live performance that separates the genuine artists from the posers!
He played a lot of shows near me over many years but I never got around to seeing him.
Another good one gone.

R.I.P.

Well, I propose a world wide wank in memory of. I imagine stock in baby oil and kleenex will go through the roof.
