We lost a lot of great ones this year.

George Michael: Just 20 years old when he took the music world by storm. Played Live Aid with Elton John at 21.

Bill Cunningham: Incredible dedication to his craft. Will miss seeing him riding his bicycle around town.

Prince: Composer, producer, arranger and other worldly guitarist. Check out Rock ‘n Roll Hall of Fame video below.

David Bowie.: The original original.

Carrie Fisher: Do you remember the first time you saw Star Wars?

Natalie Cole: Unforgettable.

I was incredibly moved today by the accounts of the Paris police officer, story Ahmed Merabet, who bravely confronted the terrorists yesterday as they fled the Charlie Hebdo offices. He was killed in the process. He was a Muslim confronting Muslim terrorists who attacked the newspaper in an attempt to silence free speech. Perhaps this was expressed best by @Aboujahjah, who posted: “I am not Charlie, I am Ahmed the dead cop. Charlie ridiculed my faith and culture and I died defending his right to do so.”

Stuff – Live at Montreux, 1976

This is an insanely great performance. Stuff — New York City-based jazz-funk band active in the late 1970s and early 1980s — at the height of their power, unhealthy in Montreux on the main stage in 1976. This is one worth watching all the way through.
