Jacques Le Goff--ok, not a musician, but an historian, who among his work wrote about Gregorian chant, singing and the corporeal experience of the Middle Ages.

"Robin Williams was an airman, a doctor, a genie, a nanny, a president, a professor, a bangarang Peter Pan, and everything in between. But he was one of a kind. He arrived in our lives as an alien but he ended up touching every element of the human spirit. He made us laugh. He made us cry. He gave his immeasurable talent freely and generously to those who needed it most from our troops stationed abroad to the marginalized on our own streets. The Obama family offers our condolences to Robins family, his friends, and everyone who found their voice and their verse thanks to Robin Williams."

Do you still have the link to that Footwork documentary you posted some time back? Always meant to watch it

Thanks for the Kot column. I'll give it a read now.

I saw him in a show about the time of the Poet albums, came on stage and played for over 2 hours and did his full back catalogue.
Called himself the only survivor left standing, a true soul great.
RIP Bobby

Alfred Schnittke's Grave - a long, heavy rest.
What Becomes of the Brokenhearted - his most famous track.
