What a body of work to leave behind. Staggering.

He put his unique stamp on a type of music that didn't necessarily ask for it/require it. Respect.

Dionne Warwick taking euphemism to the next level by talking about Burt Bacharach "transitioning".

Yeah, he's just come out as trans-living.

RIP Burt Bacharach

Love how Luther Vandross took 'em to church with his rendition of "A House is Not a Home" with Ms. Warwick in the audience beaming like the Sun.

You all should listen to Telstar!
Brilliant art, but this being a MURDER-suicide, I see no need to eulogize the man himself.
Well put.

Eileen Sheridan died, still sharp at 99 judging from a recent letter she sent to a friend. She was one of Britain's standout cyclists during a period when the country's authorities idiotically, pigheadedly obstructed the transmission of the Continent's passion for cycling in that Golden Age. Her Lands End to John O'Groats ride astonishes me: almost 900 miles in under two and a half days on what would've been a pretty heavy machine, hammering the first 400 miles to Carlisle before getting off her bike for the first time to switch to wet weather clothes and put some lights on. A very pleasant person to be around, by accounts.

Imagine the sheer force of will necessary to cycle 400 miles, in the knowledge that you're going to end up in Carlisle. Fuck me that's some doing.

I think she would’ve laughed at that as well :-)
