wurde Jim Morrison in seiner Wohnung in Paris tot aufgefunden.

Time to live
Time to lie
Time to laugh
Time to die

Takes it easy, baby
Take it as it comes
Don't move too fast
And you want your love to last
You've been movin' much too fast

Time to walk
Time to run
Time to aim your arrows
At the sun

Takes it easy, baby
Take it as it comes
Don't move too fast
And you want your love to last
Ah, you've been movin' much too fast

Go real slow
You like it more and more
Take it as it comes
Specialize in havin' fun

Takes it easy, baby
Take it as it comes
Don't move too fast
And you want your love to last
Ah, you've been movin' much too fast
Movin' much too fast
Movin' much too fast

(The Doors, Take it as it Comes, 1967)

Rest in peace, Jim. And you, Ray.

Dem Kölner Stadtanzeiger wars nur eine kurze Spalte wert, so dass ich beinahe übersehen hätte, dass William Goldman gestorben ist. Der Autor u.a., aber vor allem von der unvergessenen 'Princess' Bride', die mich als Film UND als Buch gleich beeindruckten und mir beide immer noch so lieb sind. Ganz zu schweigen von den vielen anderen Drehbüchern und Romanen.

Hier die Reaktionen von Neil Gaiman und Stephen King auf Twitter:

Happy birthday

dear

Neil Gaiman

and many more happy returns of the day for you, Amanda & Ash too.

Remember, remember,
the fifth of November,
the gunpowder treason and plot.
I see no reason
why the gunpowder treason
should ever be forgot.

Heute vor 47 Jahren starb Jim Morrison in den frühen Morgenstunden in Paris.

The days are bright and filled with pain.
Enclose me in your gentle rain,
the time you ran was too insane,
we'll meet again, we'll meet again.
.
Oh tell me where your freedom lies,
the streets are fields that never die.
Deliver me from reasons why
you'd rather cry, I'd rather fly.

(The Doors, aus: The Crystal Ship, 1965)

Rest in Peace, Jim. You too, Ray.
