Re: Passages
Had the honour and good chance to sit next to him and chat during the Huddersfield Contemporary Festival a couple or so years back. Fascinating character whose background and theories derived from speech therapy made for librettos (libretti?) rich in the accidental poetry and cadences of everyday speech. Sometimes very moving as in his opera about an old people's home but more often a noirish mordant humour.dadaistnun wrote:Robert Ashley

Only 61. A very sad day. One of the leading Australian screen actresses from the 70s onwards, without a doubt.

Northern Irish actor James Ellis, most often seen on TV, particularly as Bert Lynch in Z Cars.
(The IMDB says he was in Re-Animator, but that's certainly a different actor with the same name.)

Sad news. He was the first of the new wave comics that I became very familiar with. I loved his comedy. At the time it was unique. I would always stay up to watch Carson if Brenner was on.

Re: Passages
I had never realized Brenner was so old - although, he had always said he exaggerated his age by a decade - I wonder if that 78 is the accurate figure or the one assisted by his showbusiness ambitions!

Re: Passages
I really liked his HBO special that he did in the late 90's. I'd never heard of him and wondered why he merited an HBO special to begin with, but I think I was locked into what he was doing within the first joke.

Transatlantic Feedback is absolutely one of the best rock documentaries there is, and the book is a real treat too, if you want a little more in-depth knowledge about the band. One of my favorite albums of all time. Truly a shame.
