The Dear and Departed
By 
As you probably know Elie Wiesel died today. I don’t have anything particular to say here, but figure many of you may.
As you might not have known, Michael Cimino also died today. Personally, I find The Deer Hunter overlong and so racist as to be unwatchable in parts, but many believe him to be a great talent, even if little came of it.
And as you may not have seen, Scotty Moore, Elvis’ guitar player, died recently. I had no idea he was still alive, which isn’t surprising since he basically stopping playing after he no longer worked with Elvis.
