Not unexpected, and he lived to a proud old age while staying sharp and alert and active, but still very sad for yours truly as a fan: George Martin has died.

I wish I could do a proper post with clips from interviews and his works, but Darth Real Life won't let me. But he was certainly the coolest producer ever, and even at the most dramatic and fraught of times in the Beatles saga when everyone else involved showed their bad sides, he kept said cool, competence and grace. Of course I never met the man, but I'm one of a million of record listeners who feels a loss today.

Apparently George RR Martin has had to explain to people on Twitter that he's still alive!

Tsk. Kids these days, she says in her most obnoxious eyerolling manner. It hadn't even occured to me that there was another famous George - Martin until I browsed some fannish journals. :)
