Another shocker.

I remember his show, but I don't recall anything else he has done.

I never heard of him myself, but Ronnie Coebett was apparently a famous British comedy actor.

Entertainer Ronnie Corbett, best known for BBC comedy sketch show The Two Ronnies, has died aged 85.



His publicist said: "Ronnie Corbett CBE, one of the nation's best-loved entertainers, passed away this morning, surrounded by his loving family.



"They have asked that their privacy is respected at this very sad time."

He was a great comedian. Very popular here in the 80s.

I suppose it should also be mentioned that Patty Duke passed away earlier this week of sepsis.

Weird year.

Zaha Hadid, groundbreaking architect, died yesterday at 65 years of age.  Not a musician, but hugely important as a feminist and architect.  First woman recipient of the Pritzker Architecture Prize. She won the prestigious Sterling Prize twice, The Royal Institute of British Architects gold medal, and countless other prizes and awards.

That's a stunning piece.

Also, the writer and poet Jim Harrison died earlier this week.  Probably best known for Legends of the Fall, but a very prolific and profound guy.

That's a stunning piece.

Check out her work, a lot of it is just mind boggling.

I have heard of him and I have heard of Two Ronnies, but I never saw an episode. John Cleese praised his comedic gifts.

I don't get this crap about she's a woman and so it's amazing she can be an excellent architect. I just don't get it. Women are people, just like men. All of us have skills. As a man, should I be able to build a house, or even frame a window or door? Well, I damn well can't. Should it be surprising because the woman down the road from me can? Hell no. If I need some windows installed and she is willing to do them, I'll cook her a damn fine meal for when she's done.



I'd even give her a very nice bath if she'd like, but I guess that's another topic...
