RIP. I missed his golden age, but lil me laughed at The Apple Dumpling Gang. He did a nice, self-mocking bit on The Simpsons too.

A hometown hero, from right down the road from me in Willoughy, OH. I knew him first from The Carol Burnett Show, then used to see him pop up occasionally on Big Chuck and Little John here in Cleveland.

Mike Wilhelm, guitarist and founding member of the (US) Charlatans. I knew some of their songs and history previously, but spent a bunch of time today with this, great stories:

the East Wing of the National Gallery of Art is a beautiful modernist home for modernist painting and much else. The atrium is light-filled, has great sight lines, complemented by the monumental Calder mobile; the galleries are intimate and functional. A place my heart dwells.

xpost man... i had a few unexpected hours in d.c. and walked right past it today. i've been before and admired it, just wasn't in the mood. RIP. think my fave is his museum in ithaca, a surprisingly well-scaled and thoughtful treat (it seemed less humane in dramatic old b&w photos).(also shoutout to whichever ilxor it was that permanently welded his name to elton john's "pain" in my mind)

Pei designed the art museum at my alma mater, which is pretty nice and which no one who isn't in Indiana for some unfortunate reason will ever go out of their way to see.

Since you didn't specify, I'm operating under the assumption that every facet of your claim was a wild flight of fancy.
