Where's Waldo?

 

[NotHardUp1]

Maybe none of us did.

We tend to keep our idols forever young, and sometimes that's an intended result of them avoiding photographs at an advanced age.

Ryan was little publicized after the bloom was off the rose. Here he was just seven months ago:

I think we often lionize reaching 100 or something similarly foolish and look away at the ravages time takes on the bodies of most nonagenarians. I know President Carter has been activve right up to his last decade but now looks more than a little like a walking corpse.

Having seen footage from his wife's funeral, I'd dispute "walking".

I was going to post about Geordie's demise, but I didn't think that anyone here would know, or care, who he was, or the fact that he was one of the most original guitarists of the past 40 years. He was/is one of my main influences and a continuing source of inspiration for playing guitar. RIP.
