Guilty lol at the comment I just saw elsewhere about him having died after a short illness being exactly the kind of gag that would have been in the news roundup at the end of an episode of the Two Ronnies.

Andy "Thunderclap" Newman

"Something in the Air" is one of the oddest, most brilliant one-shots ever--written by Speedy Keen, checking, but it's the image of Newman that comes to my mind when I think about how visually perverse they were as messengers of the impending revolution.

Really upset about Zaha: the Times sent me to interview her BITD and instead of being arsey and intimidating, she was raucously funny and wore her intelligence with a great deal of style. I'll miss her putting the wind up what can be a very boysy profession.

This is the year that I've realized when you hit a certain age it starts to feel like celebrities are dying more rapidly, because more of them are people you actually know and not old-timey silent movie comedians your parents know.

Cesare Maldini. I saw him in 1997 in Bergamo, near the Atalanta stadium, where we were both headed. Always presumed he was there to check out Inzaghi, who got his first cap shortly after.

Jim Ridley, editor and longtime film critic for the Nashville Scene, dies at 50:
http://www.nashvillescene.com/pitw/archives/2016/04/08/scene-editor-jim-ridley-dies-at-50#more
I think he hadn't been writing as much about film since he became editor in chief, but he was a good critic. He got national distribution for a while, while the Scene was part of the Voice/New Times empire.

RIP, 50 is way too soon! i grew up reading ridley, he was one of the few consistently good writers in local nashville media in the 90's.
