Dustin Diamond, aka Screech from Saved By The Bell.

Said in the other thread.

"Homeboy, throw in the towel.

Your girl got dicked by Ricky Powell."

Always enjoyed his photography. And hearing his name always made me wonder who the dude was until the Internet made things more accessible.

RIP Ricky Powell

Crazy how screech only found out a month ago he was sick and BAM. Same thing happened to my dad. Went to the hospital with pain in the back, a week later he was gone. Fuck cancer.

Shit... Chick Corea?

I saw him a few times live, and met him in a record shop and chatted about his obscure shit, like Delphi (three strings per key piano bith for the Scientologists) you know, to show him I was a real geek, because I thought that would make me somehow seem less insignificant.

He was unerringly nice and more importantly, was an absolute mother on keys. My favourite set is the Akoustic Band live at The Blue Note, Tokyo. It's where Vinnie Colaiuta deps for Dave Weckl. Vinnie is channelling the ghoast of Tony Williams and it's, uh... Electric. You can find some of the set on YouTube. Vinnie sneaking a cigarette at the kit.

There's also one with him and Hiromi and the late youth Austin Peralta knocking six shades out of "Someday My Prince Will Come" in Tokyo too. If you know, you know.

Rest in power. Gutted.
