Owsley "Bear" Stanley, who fuelled the 1960s flower power generation with LSD and worked closely with the Grateful Dead, has been remembered as a man of "enormous influence".

Stanley worked as a sound engineer for the band and is remembered for the millions of LSD doses he manufactured at his lab in San Francisco, which helped to kick off the psychedelic era.

The 76-year-old died on Sunday in a car crash close to his home near Cairns, in far north Queensland. His wife Sheilah was also injured in the crash but has now been released from hospital.

Joe Morello, drummer of the Dave Brubeck quartet. Seems weird to even mention one death while Japan is going through this craziness...

Sadly, it proves the old military saying, "One death is a tragedy; one million is a statistic".

It turns out that Lil' Griff's drum teacher took lessons from... Joe Morello. Small planet.

My best friend's ex wife (also my friend) dated one of Brubeck's sons for years. The story gets more involved but I'll stop there.

It is a small world, but I still wouldn't want to have to paint it.

Have you got a steady boyfriend
Cause honey I've been watching you
I hear you're mad about Brubeck
I like your eyes, I like him too
He's an artist, a pioneer
We've got to have some music on the new frontier

I really liked her - she was a huge talent.

RIP Liz.

I actually hit the gay jackpot once when i worked on Universal CityWalk in Hollywood about 19 years ago. There was a charity comedy show being held at the studio and i saw Elizabeth Taylor and Bette Midler having lunch at Wolfgang Pucks next door. She was stunningly beautiful in person.

So was I, 19 years ago...

I only knew her as a personality in the tabloids. I know, obviously, that she was a movie star once, but that's not what I think of when her name is spoken.

I think of her time with Michael Jackson and Malcolm Forbes, and all the husbands she had.

Random story: My cousin had to retrieve something from her bathroom for her once for some reason, and said she was not very tidy.
