Tim Very, the drummer for Manchester Orchestra. No details, but it sounds like it was sudden and unexpected. here’s a video right after he joined the band, where they watch their appearance on Letterman. I think his style definitely pushed them to a more interesting sound than their first albums.
Damn. Robert Duvall is, or was, one of my favorite actors. He was 95, so I guess that's a good life lived.
Yeah, he’s been around a LONG time— he’s been playing the role of the “old man babbling incoherently” since Days of Thunder but still put in good performances here and there. “The Apostle” was the best of his career.
Secondhand Lions was a great flick that I really enjoyed. It also took me way too long to realize he was the "love the smell of napalm in the morning" dude from Apocalypse Now. He will be missed.
I mean you forget how old these people are. He played Boo Radley in To kill a mockingbird in 1962 and he was balding then. I think he was great in Falling Down. Which is a gun nut classic.
Another one of those guys that looked 65 for 40 years. If you'd have asked me how long Robert Duval was going to live after Lonsome Dove, I'd have probably guessed 10 years, not nearly 40.

Yeah, he sucked. Albeit he was the first person to run for president on an all-rhyming platform. When I was a kid I thought he was related to Reggie Jackson.
Absolutely. And as an adamant believer in the separation of church and state, it infuriated me that he, and Pat Robertson on the Republican side, ran for president in the late 80s. He was a wannabe Martin Luther King Jr. without the conviction or intelligence.
