Clearly fewer people have chosen to die under the new president, but the architect of the Iraq war and political mastermind for other presidents, Donald Rumsfeld, did.

Don Everly, half of singing duo who influenced generations of musicians, dies at 84 I remember that, as a 12-year-old, I was really taken the first time that I heard Bye Bye Love. I had not heard of the Everly brothers and the song blew me away. During my adolescence, their songs spoke to my teenage angst (as did a lot of the popular songs that were current at that time). Now, I can still appreciate a lot of that music. Although my main interest still lies in Classical, I retain a fondness for doo-wop and jazz.

RIP, Everly brothers.

I also was a big Everly Brothers fan and, as well as their tight vocal harmonies, I loved the way they used rhythm guitars out front as a driving force - to my ear, sort of like drums with chords.

He was the voice of the sleazy rich guy in "The Boondocks"...so creepily well done that listening to him was really disconcerting.

The character even looked just like him, which I found odd.

Mort Sahl, credited with bringing standup comedy into the modern era, dies at 94. Possibly unknown to anyone under the age of 60, his biting style of comedy has been adopted and adapted by many contemporary comedians.

Sam Huff As a teenager, I watched NY Giants games on TV and followed all the players. Huff was the cornerstone of the defense and contributed greatly to their victories during their glory years. I remember his teammates very well also, including Y.A. Tittle, Frank Gifford, Del Shofner, Alex Webster, plus the others mentioned in the obituary. RIP, Sam!

For all of you who might remember Dobie Gillis and Maynard G. Krebs, TV personality Dwayne Hickman has died at 87. It is interesting that this linked article, and others, describe him as a producer; not how most people are likely to remember him. But he did embody a lot of teenage angst for those times.

The full-of-personality guy who mentored The Band, Rompin' Ronnie Hawkins. I recall seeing a television interview when he reached his 75th birthday and he commented: "If I knew I was gonna live this long, I woulda taken better care of myself."
