Unforgettable presence. I dig his work in City Hall and Jacob's Ladder.

Probably not his finest hour but I always enjoyed his performance in Hudson Hawk, R.I.P

BBC: Neil Innes: Monty Python songwriter dies aged 75

I fortunately saw him live a year or so back. So many classics:

His little "Brave, brave sir robin" song might be my favourite:

His deliberately bad guitar solo in this clip is stunning :

Christopher Tolkien, son of Lord of the Rings author J.R.R. dies aged 95.

That's very sad news.  Christopher Tolkien's been the custodian of his father's work for what seems like an age.  I wonder to whom that mantle will pass.

Arthur: "Old woman!"
Dennis: "Man."
A: "Sorry. Old man! Whose castle is that?"
D: "I'm 37!"
A: "What?"
D: "I'm 37, I'm not old!"

Goodbye, Terry Jones. We will miss you.
