We live in an age where we need art more than ever, to uplift our world with the beauty of the human spirit. Few could summon the angels like the soprano Jessye Norman. A uniquely American voice that broke barriers and moved hearts. We will miss her dearly. May she Rest in Peace.— Dan Rather (@DanRather) September 30, 2019

I see Larry Wallis - Pink Fairies etc - got a fairly substantive obit in the (UK) Times today. I guess one of their music writers was a fan.

RIP Giya Kancheli, Georgian composer. He was 84.
A belated RIP for Jessye Norman as well. Two giants of classical music, each in their own distinctive way.

(xp) RIP Barrie, "Do Anything You Wanna Do" is one of the greatest rock songs ever.

RIP Barrie Masters. Love DAYWD, annoys me that they are sometimes dismissed, like Charlie Rich in the Ken Burns Country Doc, as “journeymen.”

Following his retirement, Sissons published his 2011 autobiography When One Door Closes in which he was highly critical of his former employer, the BBC. He argued that the organisation had a left-wing mindset "in its very DNA" and that the BBC News had a bias towards New Labour, the United Nations, the European Union, environmental groups, Islam, ethnic minorities and women. He claimed that "I am in no doubt that the majority of BBC staff vote for political parties of the Left".
