It's that time of year once more, to dust off this particular platitude.

Happy #40th birthday to one of my favourite albums. "So Red The Rose" by #Arcadia.

Pompous, arty, preposterous and fun.

To quote some of the lyrics:

Legendary Hollywood actor Robert Redford passes away at 89. Far too many iconic roles to mention, so here is a picture from my favourite, the gloriously enjoyable "Sneakers".

Val Kilmer passes away at 65. Star of the ridiculously funny "Top Secret" and cult classic "The Salton Sea" as well the big guns of "Batman Forever" and the "Top Gun" films, his quirky style continued even after a visible battle with throat cancer.

My first memory of watching Gene Hackman. As a small child I was entranced by the character "Harry Caul" in the movie "The Conversation". I was too young to understand what was going on, but it captured a part of my mind for good.

After 40 years of going to gigs, it seems I may finally have taken a decent picture.

Louis Gossett Jr passes away at 87. An actor with real gravitas who never really got the roles he deserved IMHO.
