One of my favorite bands.  Best showing was during their Union Tour, saw them in the round in Atlantic City.  The Union Tour was a tour of all the peeps that were a member of the band at any one time, and it was a hella long show.  During the intermission, White and Bruford (other drummer) did was what I swear was a 30 minute drums-only set...one of the best shows I saw.
I also get a little extra bummed when a fellow drummer dies.  White was a good one.  In addition to Yes he also drummed for John Lennon in "Imagine" and "Instant Karma" as well as George Harrison's brilliant "All Things Must Pass."

He was a great actor: so effective as the leader of the Pharaohs in AMERICAN GRAFFITI.  In a cast of legit super-stars top-to-bottom, he really stood out to me: especially notable since he was almost always acting off of Richard Dreyfuss - those two really had a good chemistry in those scenes!
Also he was in three Sam Peckinpah films so by definition he was at least good  :P

Loved Julee Cruise, as I'm sure most fans of David Lynch did.

The first time I heard of Julee Cruise was when she was a last-second replacement for Sinead O'Conner on "Saturday Night Live" who boycotted the show to protest Andrew Dice Clay hosting.  I remember her beautiful voice.  I hoped that Sinead's decision to be a no-show would work to Julee's benefit.

Philip Baker Hall. Excellent character actor. "Hard Eight", "Modern Family" and unforgettably on "Seinfield" as Mr. Bookman, the library cop. "Listen up, joy boy".

Sad news about Caan. "Thief" is one of greatest 8os movies ever. He was Steve Mcqueen cool. "Slither" is another little seen masterpiece from Caan.

L.Q. Jones 94. Great character actor. A Sam Peckinpah regular. Made a million western movies and TV appearances. Was in that 80's weird Sci Fi movie "Time Ridder". Directed "A Boy and His Dog".

A BOY AND HIS DOG is an all-timer as far as weird post-apocalyptic movies go.  I first saw that film in 84/85 when "Miami Vice" was on TV and my dad 'snuck' this one in on the VCR (having checked it out at the library).  See, my dad would often take me to the movie theater to see a movie regardless of theme or ratings or whatnot, with an incredibly simplistic long line.  For example, when he took me to see RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK in theaters, he simply said it was "Han Solo beating up Nazis" and I was sold.  For BLADE RUNNER he said it was "Han Solo chasing bad guy robots and also there's flying cars" which got me really excited for a movie that never really existed (I ended up liking BLADE RUNNER just fine, albeit after coming to terms it was vastly different than what dad originally led me to believe).

For A BOY AND HIS DOG, dad said, as the VCR was firing up, "it's Sonny Crocket in the future. And he has a dog."  Needless to say my mind painted a radically different picture of what the movie would be than what it actually is.  That one took me longer to come around to, as my initial 8 year old thought was "dang that's a weird one"  :P

Ivana Trump, Donald Trump's first wife, was found dead at her apartment in Manhattan.  She was 73.  Police responded to a call of a person in cardiac arrest at 10 East 64th Street on the Upper East Side at 12:40 p.m. The death is not considered suspicious, and officials say she appears to have died of natural causes. Still, the New York City Medical Examiner's Office will investigate to determine the cause and manner of death.
