Helen Reddy dies at 78.

Saw the first mention of it on FB this morning and was going to post it, but you beat me to it yesterday.

Derek Mahon, 1941 - 2020

His free translation of a sonnet by Nerval:

The Mute Phenomena

Your great mistake is to disregard the satire
Bandied among the mute phenomena.
Be strong if you must, your brisk hegemony
Means fuck-all to the somnolent sunflower
Or the extinct volcano. What do you know
Of the revolutionary theories advanced
By turnips, or the sex-life of cutlery?
Everything's susceptible, Pythagoras said so.
An ordinary common-or-garden brick wall, the kind
For talking to or banging your head on,
Resents your politics and bad draftsmanship.
God is alive and lives under a stone;
Already in a lost hub-cap is conceived
The ideal society which will replace our own.

Hans Carl Hansen. 65.

He was a musician and somewhat a friend of mine. Well, I'd be lying if I said I knew him well, we used to hang out in some pubs here and he'd play sometimes there, although he was more of a band kinda guy. He has 2 kids, both musicians.
