https://www.jambase.com/article/little-feat-paul-barrere-diedLittle Feat guitarist Paul Barerre has died due to complications from medical issues. Barrere’s Little Feat band mates confirmed the news in a statement posted on the group’s website. Paul joined the legendary rock band in 1972, three years after he failed an audition to become Little Feat’s founding bassist. He was a member ever since and either wrote or co-wrote such beloved compositions as “All That You Dream,” “Old Folks Boogie,” “Time Loves A Hero” and “Feats Don’t Fail Me Now.” Earlier this month, Barrere wrote a note to fans explaining his decision to forego the band’s fall leg of their 50th Anniversary Tour – which concludes with shows on Saturday in Huntington, New York and Sunday in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania – due to complications from liver disease.
Paul Barrere was born in Burbank, California on July 3, 1948. The guitarist attended high school with Lowell George, a musician who would soon go on to perform with Frank Zappa’s Mothers Of Invention. George left Zappa’s employ to form his own group in 1969 with keyboardist Bill Payne, another Mother, Roy Estrada and drummer Richie Hayward, who was a member of Lowell’s past band, The Factory. The band known as Little Feat, purportedly named for a comment Mothers Of Invention drummer Jimmy Carl Black made of George’s “little feet” put out an eponymous album in 1971 and followed with Sailin’ Shoes.
They played Homecoming weekend in Tuscaloosa 1978. The Tower of Power horns were with them. A splendid show.
RIP to one of my favourites.....Gahan Wilson, whose sometimes macabre cartoons were once a staple of The New Yorker, Playboy and National Lampoon, died Thursday from complications of dementia. He passed in Scottsdale Arizona at age 89, according to his son.
Wilson’s staple was black humor. In a 2013 film documentary on his life, Gahan Wilson: Born Dead, Still Weird, The New Yorker editor David Remnick said of him, “Some cartoonists can be good by having jokes, gags, and they’re funny gags,. The really great ones develop a private language, a set of characters, a set of expectations, a world. Gahan Wilson developed a world.”
Hugh Hefner also recalled Wilson’s gift, saying in an introduction to a Wilson collection, “no cartoonist was more popular, or more enduring, than Gahan Wilson.”
Wilson was born on Feb. 18, 1930 in Evanston, Illinois. He began drawing at an early age as a mean to survive a sometimes troubled homelife. He joined the Air Force and later graduated from the Art Institute of Chicago, his mother’s alma mater.
He moved to New York in the 1950s and struggled at first, as most editors didn’t “get” his sense of bizarre humor. His big break came when William Chessman was named editor at Collier’s, and began buying his work. He broke into Playboy in 1957 and slowly began his rise. Wilson joined National Lampoon in its 1970s heyday, drawing a regular strip. Nuts, described as an anti-Peanuts by some.
