to all our friends up north......our sincerest sympathies. Not much more one can say.
RIP Bob Dorough, who wrote many of the Schoolhouse Rock tunes you know and love. Here's my personal favorite, the often-overlooked Rufus Xavier Sarsaparilla
He was 94 years old.

Watched all of them in the early 70's... Lolly's Adverbs for Sale, Conjunction Junction, I'm Just a Bill, also liked Rufus and Pronouns for sure! Literacy would be way higher if these songs were available in today's classrooms.
RIP Bob, a heartfelt Thank You as well.

I remember most of those cartoons (and their messages), too. Those songs really stick in your head. Maybe someone should send a compilation dvd to a certain someone in D.C. to learn about grammar and how Bills are formed.

Great call.

While I’m confident most are not aware of his photography, he was a talented photojournalist IMO. I always felt I understood the narrative of his work.

At first I thought you were referring to Abbas Kiarostami, someone else who most people are not aware was a brilliant photographer (in addition to his filmmaking)... and I thought you were a few years behind in hearing about his death.

Heard a good interview with him by Terry Gross of Fresh Air (NPR). Worth seeking out.

I think the Guitar Center chain is in similar condition. If prices get slashed I may have to finally consider owning a Les Paul. Probably not, but for the right price...

Thank you for making architecture both interesting and challenging. As a student of architecture, I always was interested in your next work.
Alsop was known as a man not familiar with gyms.
