Remembering Austin musician Jon Dee Graham, who died at 67

 

He was not on the list.

This remembrance of Austin musician Jon Dee Graham, who died Friday at the age of 67, was first published by KUTX.

For some, it began with the True Believers — or the Skunks, if you’re hardcore.

Jon Dee Graham's music career began when he dropped out of law school at the University of Texas to join the Skunks, where he opened for bands like the Clash and the Ramones.

Eventually, Graham left the group to back blues singer Lou Ann Barton before joining the seminal True Believers with Alejandro Escovedo. But his ride was far from over when he left the band right before they split in 1987, going on to collaborate with John Doe and Exene Cervenka of X, Kelly Willis, Patty Griffin and many more.

Still, it was Graham’s solo work that connected a lot of fans to his understated yet incredible talent.

Hooray for the Moon (2002), The Great Battle (2004) and Summerland (1999) are good starting points, and Only Dead For a Little While (2023) is a damn treasure.

KUTX's Laurie Gallardo put it best when she said, “[His] songs connect to the soul in ways you didn’t think possible.” You know the truth of that statement if you’ve ever spent any time with the late Graham and his music, especially if you ever caught him live at one of his Wednesday residencies at the Continental Club, or any other space he chose to bless with his presence.

Internationally Acclaimed 

Forensic Scientist Dr. Henry C. 

Lee Dies, Leaving Remarkable 

Legacy

Dr. Lee was a distinguished professor at the University of New Haven for more than 50 years and former Commissioner of Connecticut Public Safety. 

He was not on the list.

World-renowned forensic scientist Dr. Henry C. Lee passed away peacefully on Friday, March 27, 2026 at his home in Henderson, Nevada, displaying remarkable strength, grace and resilience during a brief illness. He was 87 years old. His passing was announced by his family, in conjunction with the University of New Haven, where he served as a distinguished professor for more than 50 years.

In his final days, Dr. Lee was finalizing a book regarding missing-persons investigations, which will be published in the near future. He has authored or co-authored more than 40 books.

Dr. Lee joined the University of New Haven in 1975 and founded the University’s forensic science program, developing it from a small classroom equipped with a single fingerprint kit into an internationally recognized multi-disciplined academic department considered one of the nation’s best.

In 1998, he founded the Henry C. Lee Institute of Forensic Science, and, in 2010, the University opened an ultra-modern home for the institute, a three-story, 15,000 square-foot facility featuring the most cutting-edge forensics investigation technology, including a crime scene center, a high-tech forensic room, a crisis management center, and a state-of-the-art learning center. "The Institute will become a catalyst enabling professionals in the field to work together," Dr. Lee said at its unveiling. "The world then becomes a small community engaged in fighting crime."

For more than 20 years while at the University of New Haven, Dr. Lee served as chief criminalist for the State of Connecticut and director of the Connecticut State Police Forensic Science Laboratory from 1978 to 2000 and was Commissioner of the state’s Department of Public Safety and Connecticut State Police from 1998-2000. He was Chief Emeritus for the state of Connecticut’s Division of Scientific Services from 2000 to 2010.

"What he has done has changed the face of forensic knowledge among police officers and other criminal justice professionals," Mary Galvin, a retired Connecticut State’s attorney, told the New York Times in 2000, as he concluded his time as Commissioner for Connecticut’s Department of Public Safety.

"Dr. Lee was a remarkable individual," said University of New Haven President Jens Frederiksen. "His contributions to our University as well as forensic science and law enforcement are extraordinary and unmatched. His legacy lives on in the generations of students and law enforcement professionals he impacted throughout his brilliant career. We send our deepest condolences to his family and those mourning his passing."

Throughout his legendary career, Dr. Lee has served as a forensics expert in all 50 states and more than 46 countries, and has lectured in more than 70 countries. He has been a consultant for 600 law enforcement agencies and has testified more than 1,000 times in both criminal and civil courts in the United States and abroad, most notably in the O.J. Simpson case. For some of the highest-profile cases, Dr. Lee provided investigative assistance, including the murder of JonBenét Ramsey, the Helle Crafts woodchipper murder, the Laci Peterson case, the death of Chandra Levy, the kidnapping of Elizabeth Smart, 9/11 forensics investigation, and the reinvestigation of the John F. Kennedy assassination.

He hosted a crime-documentary series in 2004 on then Court TV titled, "Trace Evidence: The Case Files of Dr. Henry Lee."

Dr. Lee was born November 22, 1938, in Rugao, Jiangsu, China, where a multi-story museum stands in his honor. His family emigrated to Taiwan where he received a Bachelor of Arts degree in police administration from the Central Police College in 1960. He became a police officer in the Taipei Police Department, rising to captain at the age of 22, the youngest in Taiwanese history.

Dr. Lee moved with his late wife to the United States in 1964. Dr. Lee earned his Ph.D. (1975) and master’s (1974) degrees in biochemistry from New York University, and a bachelor’s degree in forensic science from John Jay College (1972). Dr. Lee has been conferred 30 honorary degrees, including from the University of New Haven in 1991 and 2010. Dr. Lee was an emeritus member of the University’s Board of Governors for nearly 30 years.

He gave the Commencement address at the University’s 1991 Winter Commencement and its Spring Commencement in 2025, when he told graduates, "You must also understand the importance of positive thinking. There is no obstacle that cannot be overcome if you persist and believe." Dr. Lee’s slogan was: "Make the impossible possible."

Dr. Lee was pre-deceased by his wife Margaret Lee in 2017. He is survived by his daughter Sherry Hersey and son Stanley Lee, their respective spouses, Ted and Romy, and their four grandchildren, David Hersey and Rachel Hersey Hotaj, and Joseph and Alexander Lee, as well as his wife Angel Xiaping Jiang and her sons Yan Liu and Tianchen Liu.

The eleventh of 13 children, Dr. Lee credited his sister Dr. Sylvia Lee-Huang for supporting him throughout his studies and his career. Dr. Lee recently said, "Without the support of Dr. Sylvia Lee-Huang, there would be no Dr. Henry Lee."

Committed to giving back, he had contributed his speaking honoraria and major gifts over the years. Ever humble, he did not want a memorial or celebration of life.

Lee worked on famous cases such as the JonBenét Ramsey murder case, the Helle Crafts wood chipper murder (the first murder conviction in Connecticut without the victim's body,) the O. J. Simpson and Laci Peterson cases, the 9/11 forensic investigation, the Washington, DC sniper shootings and reinvestigated the assassination of John F. Kennedy.

He investigated the March 19, 2004 shooting incident of Taiwanese President Chen Shui-bian and Vice President Annette Lu.

Following the O. J. Simpson case, Independent Counsel Kenneth Starr hired Lee to join his investigation of the death of Deputy White House Counsel Vince Foster in Fort Marcy Park on July 20, 1993.

Lee also was consulted on the 1991 death of investigative journalist Danny Casolaro, who died in a West Virginia motel room. Initially, Lee said the evidence presented to him by police was consistent with suicide. A few years later when additional evidence from the hotel scene was revealed to him, Lee formally withdrew his earlier conclusion and stated, "a reconstruction is only as good as the information supplied by the police".

He was consulted as a blood spatter analyst for defense during the trial of Michael Peterson, a fiction writer and politician from North Carolina who in 2003 was convicted of the murder of his wife, Kathleen Peterson.

In 2007, Lee testified as a prosecution expert witness at the first trial of Cal Harris, an upstate New York car dealer accused of killing his wife on the night of September 11, 2001. Since no body has ever been found, the state's best evidence of foul play was some medium-velocity castoff impact blood spatter on the walls of the house's garage and kitchen. Lee told the jury that it could only have come from someone lower than 29 inches (740 mm) above ground. Harris was convicted at that trial, and a retrial after new evidence emerged, but ultimately acquitted at a fourth trial after his conviction was overturned on appeal.

In 2008, Lee was involved in the early stages of investigation in Orlando, Florida for the missing toddler Caylee Anthony.

In May 2007, California Superior Court Judge Larry Paul Fidler, the judge in the Phil Spector murder trial, said that he had concluded "Lee hid or destroyed" a piece of evidence from the scene of actress Lana Clarkson's shooting. Lee denied the allegation, and "when he testified before Fidler, Lee said he was astonished and insulted by claims by two former members of Spector's defense team that he had collected a small white object that was never turned over to prosecutors, as the law requires." University of Southern California law professor Jean Rosenbluth said that Judge Fidler's ruling was "very narrow" and noted that the judge had made no finding that Lee had lied on the stand or acted maliciously.

Larry Price obit

Larry Price, former UH football coach and longtime broadcaster, dies

 He was not on the list.

HONOLULU (HawaiiNewsNow) - Larry Price, a one-of-a-kind homegrown talent who helped shape University of Hawaii football and local sports media for decades, has died.

He was 90 years old.

The Price ohana said in a statement:

“It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Dr. Larry D. Price of Honolulu, Hawai‘i, on March 27, 2026. He passed peacefully.

Dr. Price was known as an athlete, professor, news columnist for Mid-Week, sportscaster for OC16, and beloved radio personality as part of the Perry & Price morning show on KSSK-FM as part of the morning duo, Perry & Price; many knew him simply as ‘Coach.’

We appreciate the prayers and sympathies conveyed. The family requests privacy during this time.”

Powerhouse from Windward Oahu

Born and raised in Kaaawa, Price made the long, daily commute to Roosevelt High School, where he fell in love with football. A 6-foot, 260-pound force, he played on both the offensive and defensive lines.

Price went on to the University of Hawaii, playing defensive tackle from 1961 to 1964 and serving as a three-time team captain.

His impact wasn’t limited to the gridiron.

He held a black belt in judo from Kodokan Judo Institute, studied the martial arts of jiu-jitsu and karate, and fought his way in boxing to become a heavyweight champion while serving in the U.S. Army.

The Rainbow connection

After a brief stint with the Los Angeles Rams, Price returned to his roots at the University of Hawaii. He served as head volleyball coach from 1969 to 1972, and was named to the 11-member all-time UH football team in 1973.

As head football coach from 1974 to 1976, he helped usher the university into NCAA Division I Football, and was the division’s first head coach born and raised in Hawaii.

During Price’s coaching era, Hawaii competed under the moniker the Rainbows, solidifying an identity that reflected the university’s home in Manoa.

“It’s always been known as the valley of the seven rainbows, kind of a spiritual thing,” Price said at the time. “We didn’t make a big deal, because we’ve always been the rainbows because of where the school sits.”

Honolulu Mayor Rick Blangiardi — a former walk-on player who later joined Price’s staff as associate head coach and defensive coordinator — still vividly remembers his first meeting with Price.

“From the hour I met him, I was there to try to prove something about myself to him knowing full well he held the bar really high,” Blangiardi said. “I think he was born to be the head coach at UH. He had a passion for it. He was so skilled.”

Blangiardi called the opportunity to coach alongside Price a “great North Star” in his life. “That decision changed my destiny,” he said. “I wouldn’t be in Hawaii today if it wasn’t for him.”

Familiar voice on morning commutes

Price was just as instrumental behind the mic as he was on the sidelines. After hanging up his cleats, Price stepped into the world of broadcasting.

“Being that I had retired from coaching, I didn’t have anything to do anyway. So I said, I’ll give it a try,” Price said. “I’ve never done this before, but I’m coachable.”

For more than 30 years on KSSK radio, Price and Michael W. Perry became the soundtrack of the morning commute for listeners across Hawaii.

“When we got on the radio, we were terrible for about six months,” Perry recalled, “but the timing finally clicked, and everything was perfect, and we had some great, some great moments.”

The “Perry & Price” radio show was an institution for local listeners, who tuned in for commentary, news, and contemporary music. They also hosted a popular Saturday breakfast show that drew packed rooms of diners eager to see, and interact with, the duo.

“We did all kinds of things. We had April Fool’s stunts that probably should have gotten us fired, but didn’t. Radio was a little different back then, and we just had a lot of fun,” Perry said.

“Larry was a team player because of his sports background,” Perry said. “He said, ‘We have to be a team.’ He said, ‘They’ll try to split us up.’ And they did, and we didn’t let them. To this day, there’s a sign in my office that we had back from 1983 that says: Together. That’s the key.”

In times of statewide emergencies, many tuned in to hear Perry and Price share information over the airwaves. “We were there when people needed us, which is, I think, the thing that matters most,” Perry said.

From the booth to the books

Price combined his love of sports and broadcasting when he helped guide the launch of OC16’s weekly high school football broadcasts.

The weekly telecasts gave local athletes statewide exposure alongside Price’s distinct insight, unmistakable enthusiasm and his signature “Katoosh!” calls.

Off the air, Price brought the same passion to education, and remained a lifelong learner

He earned a bachelor’s of science and master’s of education from the University of Hawaii at Manoa College of Education, later completed a Ph.D. at the University of Southern California, and did post-doctoral work at Stanford University. He also served as an assistant professor at Chaminade University.

Honors, legacy, and lessons to live by

Over the decades, Price’s contributions earned him some of Hawaii’s highest honors, including being inducted into the UH Sports Circle of Honor in 1994.

In 2016, he received the University of Hawaii Founders Alumni Association Lifetime Achievement Award.

“Knowledge is power and you got to just keep on going. Forget about all the obstacles and the reasons for not going. Figure out a way to go, and just keep going,” Price said.

In 2022, he was inducted into the Hawaii Sports Hall of Fame, an organization he helped establish to preserve and celebrate the state’s athletic history.

Those who knew Price best say his accomplishments were matched by the way he treated people, as a mentor loved and respected by so many.

“He was really a renaissance man, if you will, in that he just continued to evolve and knew how to be good at every one of those different situations,” Blangiardi said, describing Price’s journey from student-athlete to coach, champion boxer and martial artist, scholar and respected broadcaster.

“But the real guy, this kid that grew up in Kaaawa,” Blangiardi said, “he knew no limits, and he pushed anybody around him to think the same way and be the same way.”

“Larry, it was a great ride. It was unbelievable. I wouldn’t give it up for anything,” Perry said of their decades-long relationship. “Thank you from the bottom of my heart, and you give ‘em in heaven.”

Mary Rand obit

Mary Rand, first British woman to win Olympic athletics gold, dies aged 86

 

She was not on the list.

Rand won gold, silver and bronze medals at Tokyo 1964

Mary Peters pays tribute to ‘most gifted athlete ever’

Mary Rand, the British track and field athlete who blazed a trail for women by winning three Olympic medals at the Tokyo Games in 1964, has died at the age of 86.

Rand was one of the giants of her sport: the epitome of speed, power and grace. Her long jump victory in Tokyo made her Britain’s first female Olympic gold medallist in athletics, and she followed it up with a silver in the pentathlon and a bronze in the 4x100m relay.

That supreme talent was also fused with 60s style. She was famously called “Marilyn Monroe on spikes” by one journalist, because of her blonde highlights, while Mick Jagger declared her to be his dream date.

After Rand’s death was announced, the tributes were led by Mary Peters, one of her four roommates in Tokyo and a pentathlon gold medallist at the 1972 Games, who told the Guardian: “She was the golden girl of her era and the most gifted athlete I ever saw.

“She worked hard and played hard, and she was a very talented all-around athlete. She could swim, she could she could play netball, she was a hockey player. And if you put her on the trampoline she would do front and back flips.

“I even went with her to dart tournaments once at Crystal Palace, and whoever threw the first bullseye won a free set of golden darts. Naturally she got a bullseye with her first dart.”

But it is was a long jump performance on a rainy day in Tokyo that earned Rand her place in history. The gold medal that changed her life, she revealed to the Guardian’s John Rodda, came following a lunch of chicken, cake and Ovaltine.

Perhaps someone had hidden rocket fuel in Rand’s drink too. Because despite jumping into a -1.6m headwind on a sodden tinder track, she broke the world record with a leap of 6.76m. To put that distance into context, it was only four centimetres shy of the distance required for bronze at the 2026 World Indoor Championships.

Rand might well have won a second gold in the pentathlon, but in the shot put she was more than six metres behind the Soviet athlete Irina Press, whose gender was the subject of much speculation and who stopped competing in 1966 after chromosome testing was introduced.

A third medal followed for Rand in the 4x100m relay but her work in Tokyo did not end on the track. She was 24 at the time, and had a young daughter, and she would sing her three young roommates, including Peters and the 800m Olympic champion, Ann Packer, to sleep.

“There were four of us in the room, and we were all competing on different days, and all nervous and apprehensive,” said Peters. “And so Mary used to sing lullabies to us that she sang to her daughter, Alison, and that’s how we got to sleep at night before our competition.”

Rand’s performances in Tokyo were ahead of their time. But, unfortunately for Rand’s financial situation, she was an athlete of her time. It meant that she was unable to earn money from competing and before Tokyo she got by on £10 a week working in the postal department of the Guinness factory – where she got a free daily lunch and pint and was able to ride around London on a Lambretta.

There were plenty of offers after the Olympics. Indeed, she was even invited to the Cannes Film Festival, where she was approached about starring in a series of “woman James Bond” films. She turned the producers down, however, as she wanted to focus on track and field.

However, just before the Mexico Olympics in 1968 she tore an achilles tendon and was forced to retire, aged 28.

But it turned out to be some career for the girl who was born Mary Bignal in Wells, Somerset in 1940 and grew up in a council house, with her father a chimney sweeper and window cleaner and her mother a nurse.

Having shown athletic prowess from an early age she was given a sports scholarship at Millfield School and quickly progressed up the ranks.

By the time she arrived at her first Olympics in Rome in 1960, aged 20, she was among the favourites for gold. But she could only finish ninth after fouling on her first two jumps in the final.

She was to make amends in Tokyo. And when Ann Packer, who was also her roommate along with Peters, was asked about Rand she could not have been more effusive.

“Mary was the most gifted athlete I ever saw,” she said. “She was as good as athletes get; there has never been anything like her since. And I don’t believe there ever will be.”

In 1969 Rand moved to the United States with her second husband, Bill Toomey, the Olympic decathlon champion. It meant that she was out of sight – and too often out of mind – for the next 57 years.

But her momentous contribution to British sport is immense and undeniable.

Barret Robbins obit

Former Raiders’ center Barret Robbins dies, teammate announces

Former star offensive lineman was 52 

He was not on the list.

Former Oakland Raiders standout center Barret Robbins has died, according to former teammate Tim Brown.

Robbins was 52. There were no other details about Robbins’ death available. Friday, the Raiders made a statement on Robbins’ death.

His death is a sad ending to a complicated and troubling career and life for Robbins, who first joined the Raiders in 1995 as a second-round pick out of TCU. Robbins quickly became one of the best centers in the NFL. He was named first-team All-Pro in 2002.

His career and life began to unravel, though, when he went AWOL from the team he day before Super Bowl XXXVII. He was suspended for the game, a loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

He did return in 2003 and started all nine games he played. The Raiders released him in 2004 and he never played again. Robbins’ post-playing life was marred by several arrests and other personal issues.

Our condolences go out to Robbins’ family and friends.

Eventually diagnosed with bipolar disorder, Robbins went missing the day before Super Sunday on Jan. 26, 2003. He returned to the team in time but was deemed unable to play. Robbins later told ESPN that he’d convinced himself the Raiders already won and that he was celebrating; he even reached Tijuana, Mexico, although he could not recall why he went there. Super Bowl 37 was played in San Diego.

“I mean, this was the biggest game of my life,” Robbins told ESPN months later. “This was everything I had worked for as a child, as a young man, as a collegiate athlete and going into the pros, this is everything I had worked for and … it’s unbelievable to me.”

Robbins completed a 30-day stint in rehab, where he was treated for bipolar disorder and alcohol abuse after the episode before, returning to the team. Robbins later told HBO’s Real Sports he would enter manic episodes for weeks at a time.

After playing college football for the TCU Horned Frogs, he was taken by the Raiders in the second round of the 1995 NFL draft. He was elected to the Pro Bowl in 2002.

James Tolkan obit

James Tolkan Dies: ‘Back To The Future’ VP, ‘Top Gun’s “Stinger” & Broadway Actor Was 94

 He was not on the list.

James Tolkan, who played the slacker-hating Mr. Strickland in the Back to the Future films, the carrier air group commanding officer “Stinger” Jardian in Top Gun and who was part of the original Broadway cast of Glengarry Glen Ross during a 55-year film, TV and stage career, died Thursday in Saranac Lake, New York. He was 94.

The news was announced on the official Back to the Future website, which noted that Tolkan passed away peacefully but did not provide a cause

Born on June 20, 1931, in Calumet, MI, Tolkan did a short stint in the U.S. Navy during the Korean War before going to acting school in New York City. He started out in local theater and eventually would appear in nine Broadway shows, notably playing salesman Dave Moss in the original cast of Glengarry Glen Ross in 1984-85.

Tolkan’s first screen credits were guest turns in such 1960s TV series as Naked City and N.Y.P.D. along with films including The Three Sisters and Stiletto. He was working regularly by the 1970s, appearing with Al Pacino in Sidney Lumet’s 1973 cop drama Serpico and then playing a dual role as Napoleon and a lookalike opposite Diane Keaton and Allen in the filmmaker’s 1975 Russian lit satire Love and Death. He was a coroner in 1979’s The Amityville Horror.

Tolkan also had roles in such 1980s films as Wolfen, Prince of the City, Author! Author! — again with Pacino — and WarGames before landing his signature mid-’80s roles.

He was cast in Robert Zemeckis’ wildly popular 1985 action comedy Back to the Future as Mr. Strickland, the Hill Valley High School vice principal with a noted spite for “slackers,” as he called George McFly (Crispin Glover) and later Marty McFly (Michael J. Fox). He reprised the role for the 1989 sequel Back to the Future II and Strickland’s Wild West ancestor in Back to the Future III the following year.

Then came another role for which Tolkan would be widely recognized. He played Tom “Stinger” Jardian, Commander of the USS Enterprise Carrier Air Group, who barks at Maverick (Tom Cruise) and Goose (Anthony Edwards) early in the 1986 Tony Scott-directed blockbuster. Stinger later briefs the recently graduated Top Gun pilots on their first mission. Late in the movie, he gives Maverick his choice of duty and feigns horror with the pilot tells him he wants to be a Top Gun instructor. “God help us,” Stinger replies.

Around that time, Tolkan landed his first series-regular TV role, playing the possibly mobbed-up fiance of star Mary Tyler Moore’s neighbor in the CBS sitcom Mary. It only lasted one season in 1985-86. His next regular role was as Captain Mike Ragland in CBS cop drama The Hat Squad. He was a career cop who raised three foster children who eventually also became police officers, and Ragland was their captain. It also aired just a single season in 1992-93.

Tolkan later had two more major TV roles, playing a number of characters as part of a repertory cast in the 2001-02 A&E period drama Nero Wolfe — also directing two episodes — and as a series regular on the syndicated adventure series Cobra. In the latter, he played Dallas Cassel, boss of ex-Navy SEAL “Scandal” Jackson (Michael Dudikoff) in the ultrasecret Cobra, which aided crime victims who were wronged by the system. The series aired 22 episodes in 1993-94.

Along the way, Tolkan continued to guest on TV in such popular series as Hill Street Blues, American Playhouse, Miami Vice, The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, Tales from the Crypt, The Wonder Years, Early Edition and The Equalizer. He also had big-screen roles in dozens of films ranging from Prince of the City, Masters of the Universe and Iceman to Family Business, Opportunity Knocks and playing Numbers in Warren Beatty’s 1990 Dick Tracy.

Tolkan’s final screen roles came in the 2013 TV movie Phil Spector, playing the judge in the disgraced Wall of Sound producer’s murder trial, and a pianist in the 2015 Kurt Russell Western Bone Tomahawk.

Tolkan is survived by his wife of 54 years, Parmele; and three nieces. His family asked that donations in his memory be made to a local animal shelter, animal rescue organization or Humane Society chapter.

Ross "The Boss" Friedman obit

Former MANOWAR Guitarist ROSS 'THE BOSS' FRIEDMAN Dies At 72

 

He was not on the list.

Ross "The Boss" Friedman, a founding member of both MANOWAR and THE DICTATORS, whose influence in heavy metal and punk is noticeable to this day, has died at the age of 72. His passing comes a little over a month after it was announced that he had been diagnosed with ALS, also known as known as Lou Gehrig's Disease.

The news of Friedman's passing was shared via a statement on the social media of the Metal Hall Of Fame.

"It is with deep sadness that we confirm the passing of legendary guitarist, our dear friend, and Metal Hall Of Fame inductee Ross 'The Boss' Friedman," the statement read.

"Ross was a pioneering force in both punk and heavy metal, best known as a founding member of THE DICTATORS and MANOWAR.

"Ross will always be the Metal Hall Of Fame's 'Global Metal Ambassador' to the world. His powerful playing, unmistakable tone, and uncompromising spirit helped shape generations of musicians and fans around the world.

"Earlier this year, Ross publicly shared his diagnosis with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS),facing it with the same courage and honesty that defined his life and career.

"Ross's impact on music is immeasurable. From the raw energy of early punk to the epic scale of heavy metal, his work left a lasting mark on the genre and on everyone who experienced it. Beyond his achievements on stage and in the studio, Ross was deeply respected by his peers and beloved by fans across continents. His legacy will live on through his music, his influence, and the countless lives he touched.

"We extend our heartfelt condolences to his family, friends, bandmates, and fans worldwide during this difficult time.

"Further details will be shared as they become available."

A separate statement on Ross's Facebook page reads as follows: "It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of the Bronx's own Ross 'The Boss' Friedman who died last night after battling ALS.

"A legendary guitarist and beloved father, his music and spirit impacted fans around the world as much as you impacted him.

"We are grateful for the outpouring of love and support you all have shown throughout his career and especially these last few months.

"His music meant everything to him & his guitar was his life's breath. This insidious disease took that away from him. His legacy with THE DICTATORS, MANOWAR, ROSS THE BOSS and other collabs will live on forever in our hearts and ears."

Ross was inducted into the Hall Of Heavy Metal History, before it was rebranded as the Metal Hall Of Fame, in 2017.

When Ross's diagnosis was first announced in early February, his publicist said in a statement: "Ross 'The Boss' Friedman, founding member of punk rock legends THE DICTATORS and heavy metal stalwarts MANOWAR, has been diagnosed with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS),commonly known as Lou Gehrig's Disease. The diagnosis followed several months of seemingly unrelated symptoms that included weakness in his hands and legs. A series of very minor strokes was initially thought to have been the cause, but changes in diet, exercise and added physical therapy did nothing to slow the progression or increase his strength."

At the time, Friedman added in his own statement: "It's difficult to know what lies ahead, and it crushes me not to be able to play guitar, but the outpouring of love has been so, so strong. I'm absolutely blown away by the love and support from family, friends and fans. I love you all."

Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) is a progressive, fatal neurodegenerative disease that destroys motor neurons in the brain and spinal cord, causing muscle weakness, paralysis, and loss of voluntary muscle control.

Ross recorded six albums with MANOWAR before leaving after 1988's "Kings Of Metal". His work with MANOWAR included such classic LPs as 1982's "Battle Hymns", 1983's "Into Glory Ride" and 1984's "Hail To England".

Ross was one of the pioneers of both punk rock and heavy metal. First crashing on the scene with THE DICTATORS and with such classic albums as 1975's "Go Girl Crazy!", 1977's "Manifest Destiny" and 1978's "Bloodbrothers", Ross helped trailblaze punk rock (just to put it all in perspective, "Go Girl Crazy!" arrived a full year before the RAMONES' debut, and two years before THE CLASH's and SEX PISTOLS' debuts). By the end of the '80s, Ross had reconnected with his DICTATORS bandmates in MANITOBA'S WILD KINGDOM, which served as a bridge between his love of punk and metal, as heard on the group's popular 1990 debut, "…And You?" Throughout the remainder of the decade, Ross also played with such groups as THE HELLACOPTERS and THE SPINATRAS, before THE DICTATORS reunited, which resulted in several new releases starting from the late '90s all the way through the early 21st century. Also around this time, Ross joined forces with former of BLUE ÖYSTER CULT drummer Albert Bouchard in the band BRAIN SURGEONS. With Ross's main focus turning to metal music at this time, two additional projects were launched — DEATH DEALER and his solo outfit, ROSS THE BOSS.

Dash Crofts obit

Dash Crofts of ’70s Hitmakers Seals and Crofts Dies

 He was not on the list.

Dash Crofts, the surviving half of Seals and Crofts, has reportedly died. His passing was confirmed by Louie Shelton, who produced the '70s hitmakers.

"Sad to hear our dear brother and partner in music has passed away today," Shelton said in a social media post. "Sending love and prayers to all his family and many fans."

"We are heartbroken to share the passing of our beloved father and husband Darrell 'Dash' George Crofts, who passed away March 25, 2026 at the age of 87 surrounded by the love and prayers of his devoted wife and children," Crofts' daughter Lua added in her own social media post.

Shelton arrived as producer for the third Seals and Crofts album, 1971's Year of Sunday, and their career took flight. The title tracks from 1972's double-platinum Summer Breeze, 1973's gold-certified Diamond Girl and 1976's gold-selling Get Closer each soared into the Top 10.

Born in Cisco, Texas, Darrell "Dash" Crofts was a youthful pianist. He played drums with an embryonic band called Dean Beard and the Crew Cats, where he met fellow Texan (and then-saxophonist) Jim Seals. They both were also in the Champs, though after the group hit with "Tequila."

Seals and Crofts moved to California in the hopes of building a musical future, but then Crofts was drafted and served for a couple of years. By 1969, the duo was ready to try again. They helped develop a new sound that would be described (sometimes derisively) as soft rock.

"About the same time as people like Crosby Stills and Nash," Crofts told the Record Mirror, "we realized that we had to get out of the money-making aspect of loud rock 'n' roll into some music which we really believed in." Critic Robert Christgau described the results as "classic folk-schlock."

They converted to a new religion along the way, and incorporated some of those themes into their music. "The Baha'i Faith teaches the unity of people of all races, creeds, religions, politics and truths," Crofts told Stereo Review. "We're not selling religion through our music, but the concepts of Baha'i do come out in it – like the concept of the oneness of mankind."

Why Did Seals and Crofts Break Up?

They typically shared songwriting credits and vocals. Crofts played guitar and, later, mandolin. He memorably sang the second verse of "Diamond Girl," while taking over lead vocals for "King of Nothing" and "Goodbye Old Buddies," among others.

"Hummingbird," "I'll Play for You" and "You're the Love" reached the Top 20, while "We May Never Pass This Way (Again)" just missed at No. 21. Seals and Crofts hit No. 14 on the album charts with 1974's gold-selling Unborn Child and cracked the Top 40 again with 1975's I'll Play for You. Their mid-'70s Greatest Hits album was a twice-platinum smash, too.

Seals and Crofts split in the early '80s, before briefly reuniting in the '90s and '00s. "Around 1980, we were still drawing 10,000 to 12,000 people at concerts" Seals later told the Los Angeles Times, "but we could see, with this change coming where everybody wanted dance music, that those days were numbered."

Dash Crofts eventually returned to his native Texas, where he raised horses late in life. His lone solo album, 1998's Today, included some updated Seals and Crofts material. Jim Seals, the older brother of Danny "England Dan" Seals, died in 2022.

Mick Roberts obit

'One of a kind' singer of Leeds band The Bridewell Taxis dies as family pays loving tribute

 He was not on the list.

The “one of a kind” singer of a Leeds indie band that built a significant local following in the 1980s and 1990s has died.

Michael ‘Mick’ Roberts died peacefully in his sleep aged 57 on Wednesday (March 25), his family has confirmed.

Mr Roberts was the frontman for the group The Bridewell Taxis, who formed as Morality Play in 1987 and were active until 1993 before reforming briefly in 2005.

His sister Lee Middleton said that he was “such an amazing, wonderful brother and a fantastic artist”, adding: “Devastated doesn’t even begin to describe how we feel as a family.”

Mr Roberts was born in Cross Gates and had three sisters and leaves behind a son.

Mrs Middleton said that the family grew up in a musical household, with The Beatles, Abba and Michael Jackson playing often.

She said: “He did a mean moonwalk, did Mick. He was actually a good dancer. But that was only for us at home.

“It was a very noisy and happy household.”

Mr Roberts joined Morality Play in 1987 and began writing lyrics for the band, who later changed their name to Bridewell Taxis, a local nickname for police vans.

The group went on to make indie dance music in line with the ‘Madchester’ sound of the time coming from the likes of The Stone Roses and Happy Mondays.

Mrs Middleton said: “I think they were going to get signed at one point. They had a few meetings.

“They all got on really well. They were just typical lads.”

Mrs Middleton said that they developed a strong local following among the Leeds United football firm at the time known as ‘The Service Crew’.

She said: “I think I snuck into one concert and got right to the front and was dead chuffed with myself but he saw me and stopped singing and went ‘move her’.

“The whole band liked football and Leeds United but Michael was never in to it really. He more liked writing and drawing. But Leeds United fans liked Michael.

“It usually goes on Facebook whenever they play their songs at Elland Road.”

She said that Mr Robert’s hearing began to suffer into the 1990s and the band had to disband as a result. They reformed in 2005 and received a huge local response but could not continue playing due to his struggles with hearing.

Mrs Middleton said: “He was 90 per cent deaf when they played those gigs. I asked him ‘how did you sing?’ and he said because he could feel the music through his feet.

“It’s such a shame because that was his life. He just loved singing.

“He kept trying. We did a few good karaoke's.

“But he enjoyed everything he did. He would say ‘I have nothing to go back for’.”

She said that in his later years Mr Roberts wrote “thousands and thousands” of songs in the hope that others would be able to sing them. She said: “I’ve been in his flat and there’s just books and books of notes and songs and drawings.

“He was such a fantastic artist.”

Mrs Middelton added that he was “very family orientated”, adding: “He was strangely very quiet but also a wildcard. He was such a lovely person.”

She said that social media has “exploded” with tributes to Mr Roberts which was “warming to think how much people did think about him”.

A tribute was shared online by fellow band member Chris Walton, who said: “Mick was an absolute one-off in so many ways and if you were a mate you were a mate for life.

“He had so many friends up and down the country and always had time for everyone.

“We had some mad times on tour, some great, some not so great and some absolutely mental ones.”

He added: “Mick’s song-writing and lyrics are some of the best I've ever come across. I can see him now huddled in the corner scribbling away with his pen and paper while we got the music together.

“It all happened a long time ago now but the memories are something that can never be taken away and never die.”

Barry Caldwell, veteran animator, director, and storyboard artist has sadly passed away

He worked across major studios including Filmation, Ruby-Spears, Warner Bros. Animation, Disney, and DreamWorks — leaving a lasting mark on generations of animation

His work includes:

• 'Animaniacs'

• 'Pinky and the Brain'

• 'Tiny Toon Adventures'

• 'Osmosis Jones'

• 'Alvin and the Chipmunks'

• 'The Smurfs'

• 'Scooby-Doo!'

Thank you, legend. Rest in peace

A veteran animator and storyboard artist Barry Caldwell has passed away, according to Paul Dini.

Caldwell was a respected figure in animation, working across studios like Filmation, Ruby-Spears Productions, Warner Bros. Animation, and Disney, and contributing to projects featuring characters from Animaniacs to Pinky and the Brain.

Dini described him as “one of the finest artists” he’d ever met, highlighting not just his talent, but his humor, generosity, and the way he could elevate any project he touched. One standout example he pointed to was Caldwell’s emotional storyboard work on A Pinky & the Brain Christmas, which helped turn an already strong script into something unforgettable.

Beyond the work, it’s clear this is a loss that’s being felt personally across the industry.

Rest in peace to a creator who helped shape so many of the characters and moments people grew up with. 🕊️
