RIP William Harrison , novelist and screenwriter, best known for the slightly Bradburyesque* Rollerball.


*Due to its satirical depiction of near-future media.

RIP singer-songwriterLou Reed, aged 71.

Alas! Within the last month, I was in a music store, considering whether to buy The Velvet Underground and Nico or something else - and in the end it was something else.

It was a classic record, and I guess now, at last, I will buy it. That's how it goes.

RIP.

I remember him from the Velvet Underground days!!
