RJ Mitte has died (Bryan Cranston's fellow actor ‘son' in Breaking Bad whom we all adored has died at 34)
Bryan Cranston & RJ
" I’m in deep despair as I write this tonight. RJ Mitte, my sweet son on Breaking Bad has died.
I met him when he was only 14 years old when he was cast as Walter White Jr., a part he played with such joy and enthusiasm.Born with Cerebral Palsy, he never - ever - allowed that challenge to be an excuse for anything. He met the demanding shooting schedule head on with great determination.Always listening to the advice that his TV parents (Anna Gunn and myself) gave him - but being a teenager, sometimes mischievously ignoring the counsel in order to learn the hard way… He was one of the stars of a hit TV show - but still a kid.That kid was pretty raw when we started shooting the pilot in February of 2007, but little by little we watched him grow into a really fine actor. He parlayed his experience on the show to be a vocal advocate for performers with disabilities, and was the head of a philanthropic organization with a focus on helping the disabled community.All that promise and potential now is such a loss.It is especially devastating to hear that he took his own life.Why?We were texting each other just a few weeks ago - figuring out when we could meet for lunch. I don’t know if that lunch would have changed his future…But I do know that I loved him, and thoroughly enjoyed being with him throughout the years on the series, and after the spotlight on Breaking Bad dimmed…I’ll miss you, son.I can’t stop there without imploring anyone who is contemplating suicide to please call for the support you need at 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline (https://988lifeline.org/). There is hope."
Who else could put it better but ‘our’ wonderful Bryan Cranston and our thoughts go out to RJ's family and all the amazing company of players in Breaking Bad, we all so enjoyed;friends family and colleagues everywhere. What a wonderful burgeoning star and I was so moved at not only his casting (genius writing) but also his stellar acting abilities. We loved his character so much and understand he was a truly lovely human being.
So sorry for everyone’s loss

Pylon - Functionality (demo) 1979 | sonicandvisualsurprises
Functionality
FUNCTIONALITY (DEMO) - PYLON
1979
A little early Pylon magic
Here’s a glimpse of the band working out the sound that made them such a distinctive presence in post-punk.
There’s something oddly infectious about “Functionality”; it gets into your head without asking permission.
something of the Young Marble Giants about this maybe crossed with a bit of Souixie & The Banshees perhaps . . . . suffice I LIKE it
King Crimson - ‘Fridays’ ABC late night comedy show (sic?!???) | Alan Bershaw Facebook
Throwback to 44 years ago, when this new configuration of King Crimson was the musical guest on ABC’s late night comedy show ‘Fridays.' This originally aired on December 4, 1981, when they were promoting their new album "Discipline." I caught them at Toad's Place in New Haven the following March, and Robert Fripp conveyed as much happiness and satisfaction as he does here - as we continue transferring old videotapes before they disintegrate.
Talk, talk, talk, it’s only talk…
another doozie from Alan Bershaw44 years ago?! Are you sure!!!???
Perhaps my favourite incarnation of KC . . . . .
Khatumu Miatta - Clothes On
This fantastic lassie keeps on cropping up in my FB algorithim (might be something to do with your following her - ED - that just sounds SO wrong!)
Khatumu Miatta - Clothes On
I really like RocKwiz (Australian?) - EDDI READER (Perfect)
RocKwiz and they come up with stars and have fun and gam to boot . . . but here one of the all time great Scottish voices and with her one hit wonder . . .sadly under appreciated the legendary Eddie Reader - I think I discovered her backing or singing with Annie Lennox which is a sign from Annie and no mnistake . . . .
Perfect - Eddi Reader - 2006
Keef on ‘Cool’! | Don’s Tunes
Keith Richards: I don’t think I’m cool, it’s other people that tell me I’m cool, I’m just being who I am. Just be yourself is all I can say, the rest of it’s a joke. ‘Elegantly wasted’ blah-blah-blah, I’ve had all of that. If you’ve gotta be cool be cool with yourself. If you’ve gotta think about being cool, you ain’t cool.”
I don't want get big-headed here, as I always play myself down, but I've been pleased. To me, my biggest fear is getting a big head, and that is when I get the hammer. Because it's very easy in this game to believe you're something special.Photo: Albert Watson
He’s so cool!
