Some deaths resonate more than others, especially when I remember them from my teenage years. His film performances from the 1970s alone would put many others to shame.

Being an ex Argentine Tango dancer in a past life myself⊠I found it interesting that Robert Duvall was also a lover of the dance, so much so, he practised most days of his later lifeâŠ
Here is an article stating such..
Argentine Tango and Robert Duvall
BTW⊠I liked him best in Open Range with Kevin Costner
RIP Robert Duvall, a one of a kind

He had a small part in Gone in 60 Seconds but it was quality!
RIP Mr Duvall
Greater pens than mine can write of his work, his character and the influence he had on so many, but this caught my eye from that interview with himâŠ
âWhen the game starts, you use what youâve got â and donât cry about what you donât have. You run to your strengthâ
I think that can be applied in many areas, not just the field of sport.

Some old Red Dwarf clips started popping up in my YouTube feed, got me all nostalgic and I started watching it again from series one only the other day. I really enjoyed the books too, hopefully there is enough there that they can still release the one he was working on.

NoâŠ
Paul Anka wrote the English lyrics for âMy Wayâ which was famously released by Frank Sinatra in 1969. While the melody is from the 1967 French song âComme dâhabitudeâ composed by Claude François and Jacques Revaux, Anka completely rewrote the lyrics to fit a new, unrelated theme of reflection and defiance at the end of a life.

When youâre in a band for more than 30 years with an absolute heavyweight and a cultural icon like Lemmy was, itâs no surprise that youâll always be somewhat out of the spotlight but those 30+ years should speak for themselves about how important he was for rockânâroll and heavy metal music and culture. The only flaw I could find about him was that he was a Man United fan, eh⊠Rest in peace.
