Fantastic conductor. If you only get one set of Tchaikovsky symphonies, it should be his Chandos discs.

Stunned. Stunned. Complete gutted by this news.

Would’ve bet a hundred dollars on your daughter thinking Juice WRLD was a “store for hipsters to buy smoothies.”

He was the spoon who stirred the drink on Boston Legal as well.

Saw Rene Auberjonois in 2008 as part of the Shakespeare Theater Company production of Moliere’s The Imaginary Invalid….he was great in the title role…hilarious play

"The officers and agents had been waiting at the Atlantic Aviation hangar at Midway early Sunday because they suspected the private plane from Los Angeles carrying the musician — whose real name was Jarad Higgins — was carrying contraband, the sources said.

The search turned up 41 “vacuum-sealed” bags of marijuana, six bottles of prescription codeine cough syrup, two 9 mm pistols, a .40-caliber pistol, a high-capacity ammunition magazine and metal-piercing bullets, according to the sources. Two men identified by police as working security for Higgins were charged with misdemeanor offenses for illegally possessing the guns and ammunition."

How on God's green Earth those that only equate to misdemeanor offenses? I'd think 41 bags of marijuana alone – even at a  hilariously low estimate of a gram per bag – would get into felony possession amounts in most states.
