Sad to hear, I knew he was ill and he had cancelled the tour. Huge part of my early rocker days were those two albums. I have tickets for next years tour, it would be nice to see some sort of tribute to Paul on the tourQuote:

I'm sure Terri Garr was a call in voice on Frasier as well.
Not bad credits.
One of my favourite films, my mum loved Mel Brooke’s films so I watched them from a young age. Peter Boyle remains my favourite on screen version of the monster.Quote:

Hearing reports that David Lynch has died.
His family announced his death in a Facebook post, writing, “There’s a big hole in the world now that he’s no longer with us. But, as he would say, ‘Keep your eye on the donut and not on the hole.'”Quote:

Inland Empires, though........... waaaaaay out of my ken. :rolleyes:
