Johnny Lee Hooker, legendary blues man, an influence on the Rolling Stones, died at the age of 80.
He was still performing to the end, still recording. He will be missed.
The other I didn't hear of until a few minutes ago - but his memory will always be significant: Carol O'Connor.
Archie Bunker was a character I grew up with, and played a significant part in my pop culture gestalt. Archie's favorite chair has been an exhibit in the Smithsonian for years. Now, memories of Archie - and Carol - will be forever in our hearts and minds too.
