SUMMBITCH. I'd trust him more to keep the Heisinberg compensator from scrambling me (ala the transporter malfunction in ST:TMP) than Abram:Trek Checkov.

The great maestro has just joined the heavenly orchestra...

Not something I'd like to wake up to.
RE: The Cursed Thread of 2020 - DHBirr - 07-06-2020
The only tiny consolation about these last several deaths, perhaps especially Downs and Morricone, is that they don't fall into the category of "taken too young." We have literally decades of their work we can reminisce about and, in some cases, play and savor again. I anticipate marathoning Morricone's film themes today.
Oh, and I recall Hugh Downs from the puzzle-game show Concentration, even before his time on Today. But then, I also remember, "Good night, Chet." "Good night, David ... and good night, for NBC News."
