Shocked to learn that Okwui Enwezor died on March 1. He one among the preeminent art curators in the 21st century, and his projects and writings are responsible for vastly expanding discourses on post-colonial and global politics in art: https://www.nytimes.com/2019/03/18/obituaries/okwui-enwezor-dead.html

RIP. I used to have a gigantic poster from Faces on my wall for years.

"Guitarist Slash (real name Saul Hudson), who was childhood friends with Cassel's son, credited Cassel with giving him his nickname, because he was always zipping from one place to another and never sitting still.[5]"

a Mets fan who gave up on everything in the mid '80s (Dr Morbius), Monday, 8 April 2019 20:26 (seven years ago)

I used to think he'd died after shooting Rushmore, but then I saw him on a Boston Public ep in 2000 or so playing a teacher who'd faked his death, which was a funny way to be set straight on the matter.

A cool, neat footnote in Cassell's career is his appearance--alongside Alex Rocco--as a henchman in the Batman/Green Hornet episodes.

He once featured in a dEUS videoclip. (The singer is a massive Cassavetes fan.)

Ian Cognito, probably one of Britain's most challenging comedians and peer with Sadowitz, died onstage (literally) in Bicester last night. Won awards in the late 90s but seemed happy to just be a comedian's comedian.

The video down the bottom doesn't suggest he'll be missed!

(Does Jimmy Carr have 'risky brutal humour'? What does he do with it?)

other comics who died onstage: Dick Shawn and Parkyakarkus (Albert Brooks' father)

Blimey, used to see him back in my "Comedy Gig-Going" days - he was really good!

I dunno, what can you do? The price of staying alive, I guess.

Appropriately enough Jerry Sadowitz had a routine about this - and some horse that died running the Derby.
