Ennio Morricone - one of the best film composers of all time. While some lean to the Good the Bad and the Ugly - I think Once Upon a Time in the West was his masterpiece. The use of the score with the story is phenomenal

Without question.
A friend of mine from high school emailed me to see if I had heard - she remembered how obsessed I was with the film and score when we were in high school. We were once in a burger joint before we we supposed to go to a party and the movie was on one of the tvs and I refused to leave until it was over - we missed the whole party and stayed at the restaurant til closing

I just saw this. It is very difficult for me to express how much love and respect I have for him. In an age of de-mystifying our idols, he continued to stand tall. My heart goes out to him and his loved ones. He made America, and, by extension, the world, better.
Lewis: A huge figure who devoted his life to fairness and equality, and tried his best to help others. We could use more of his type. A lot more.

Stand up, Mr. Lewis is about to pass by.
When you look and understand the true character of this mans soul, then you see what 180 degrees the opposite looks like in the Oval Office. Love and turn the other cheek / Hate and divide.... Spend your life trying to make your country a better place / Spend your life focused solely on oneself.
This much I know. Mr. Lewis is universally loved and admired in his life and passing. The person sitting in the Oval Office will not enjoy such when he is gone.
How awful to fight bigotry and racism your whole life and you die while the most racist and bigoted president since Andrew Jackson occupies the White House.
