It will be long enough he won't remember this.

Alvin Lucier

Well, this one hurts big time.

The first time I met him was in the mid-70s along with Bob Rauschenberg and Viola Farber.

The last time I was actually with him was having an ice cream in a shop.

Last time I saw him perform was when Frown and I saw him in 2019.

Ninety years old and such a legacy of sound.

Greg Tate, Influential Critic, Essayist, and Chronicler of the Black Avant-Garde, Dies at 64

He did some meaningful work, not the least of which was being one of the first critics to reevaluate 70s Miles.
He made his case with strength and insight, and it stuck.

Michael Nesmith

While he and Dolenz were doing this recent, officially: a "last" tour,
I watched an interview with the two of them. Nez was funny in his usual way
during it and told stories that he'd probably told hundreds of times before.
Dolenz, on the other hand, looked like he was a combination of pissed
and really exhausted and wasn't really looking good. ...and some of the concert
footage of the two of them showed that Dolenz' voice was shot.

As a youngster, I called Dolenz on the phone because he was my
favorite Monkee at that time, but as years have gone on I've realized
that out of all four of them, the creative force was really Nesmith.
Yes, there were The Monkees, but a more creative snug-fit that he'll be
remembered for is the fact that he was a pioneer in music-video art.
His mother invented "Liquid Paper" BTW.
