Sad news, though 95 is some age.My favourite fact about the Mog books is that the Thomas family are modelled after her own, so Mr Thomas is her husband, Quatermass author Nigel Kneale.

I grew up in the Packer loving part of Michigan and always heard legends that some disgruntled fan killed his dog and that there was a Packers bar in some warm place where midwesterners go in the winter named Bart Starr’s Dog. Apparently the former is untrue but not sure about the latter

Holy shit I was planning to buy his new one, it sounded really interesting. My wife and I were both big fans, even attended a reading of his several years back, I think it was for his John Brown book, which was also really good.

I remember she had an album that simultaneously a) landed in Paul Gambaccini's Top 200 Albums book (because one person voted for it), and b) got a horrendously low rating in either the Rolling Stone guide or Christgau's '70s book. Romance on the Rise--don't believe I've ever seen a copy.

Leon Redbone

― a large tuna called “Justice” (C. Grisso/McCain), Thursday, 30 May 2019 16:39 (four years ago) link
A post on Redbone’s website confirming his death contained enough deadpan humor and whimsical fiction that it was almost certainly prepared in advance by the singer himself. “It is with heavy hearts we announce that early this morning, May 30th, 2019, Leon Redbone crossed the delta for that beautiful shore at the age of 127,” it read. “He departed our world with his guitar, his trusty companion Rover, and a simple tip of his hat. He’s interested to see what Blind Blake, Emmett, and Jelly Roll have been up to in his absence, and has plans for a rousing sing along number with Sári Barabás. An eternity of pouring through texts in the Library of Ashurbanipal will be a welcome repose, perhaps followed by a shot or two of whiskey with Lee Morse, and some long overdue discussions with his favorite Uncle, Suppiluliuma I of the Hittites. To his fans, friends, and loving family who have already been missing him so in this realm he says, ‘Oh behave yourselves. Thank you…. and good evening everybody.'”
