Van Connor, bassist and founding member of Screaming Trees, age 55. Pneumonia after an extended illness. Sure sounds like Covid to me.

Impossible. I've been informed multiple times that we've beaten COVID and it's a shadow of the past, not something we have to worry about anymore (unless we're in Davos hanging out with billionaires)

Guitarist Tom Verlaine, co-founder of Television.

Among those paying tribute to Verlaine was Mike Scott of The Waterboys, who tweeted: "Tom Verlaine has passed over to the beyond that his guitar playing always hinted at.

"He was the best rock and roll guitarist of all time, and like Hendrix could dance from the spheres of the cosmos to garage rock. That takes a special greatness."

Will Sergeant, guitarist of Echo & The Bunnymen, said: "Tom Verlaine's playing meant the world to me. If I ever played anything that sounded like him I was happy. He set me on my path as a guitarist, thank you Tom."

This one has been fascinating to see and learn about while I’m here in Canada. She was the mayor of Mississauga for 36 years and apparently a major presence in Canadian politics. Most of the people I’m working with here are from various places in Canada, Yukon, Calgary, Edmonton, NWT, and yet all them knew who she was and were like “oh wow she died?”
