Only 2 days in and we have to do this. Not gonna be a good year, I think.

RIP, Mean Gene Okerlund.

So far, not a good year for names that include adjectives.

RIP, Super Dave Osborne

2019 is apparently not happy with 2018's production in the death department.

RIP, Blake Nordstrom, co-president of Nordstrom.

Captain Daryl Dragon, of The Captain & Tenille.

Yeah, 2019 is gonna be one of THOSE years.

Mean Gene, Super Dave, and Captain Dragon were all 76 when they died as well. Yeesh.

Mean Gene really hurts, as I grew up loving wrestling.

Other kids wanted to be wrestlers. I wanted to be Mean Gene.

RIP Mean Gene

RIP Alfred Newman, one of the last remaining Navajo Code Talkers.

Windsor Davies, best known for his role in popular (if not exactly PC by today's standards) 1970s British sitcom It Ain't Half Hot Mum has died aged 88

Prolific French musical composer and musician Michel Legrand has died aged 86.

He's best known in France for the scores of Jacques Demy's musicals, The Umbrellas of Cherbourg (1964) and The Young Girls of Rochefort (1967), and in the U.S. for the awarded scores and songs of Norman Jewison's The Thomas Crown Affair (1968), Robert Mulligan's Summer of '42 (1971) and Barbra Streisand's Yentl (1983), but overall he's credited for the original soundtracks of more than one hundred and fifty movies from both sides of the Atlantic. At the same time, he also pursued a career of jazz pianist, arranger and conductor, resulting in dozens of albums and prestigious collaborations.
