Interesting guy - in 1971 he was in a freak accident he fell from a ski lift and was pierced through the heart with a ski pole. He was actually pronounced dead upon arrival at a hospital but a doctor found signs of life rushed him into surgery where they fixed his heart.

Two of his bigger roles were the made-for-TV movie Killdozer! and The Dirty Dozen. His final role was the voice of Nick Nitro in Small Soldiers.

Robert Indiana
(born Robert Clark)

"Robert Indiana, the Pop artist whose bold rendering of the word “love” became one of the most recognizable artworks of the 20th century..."

“Mr. Indiana called it (”LOVE”) the 20th century’s “most plagiarized work of art”, and he kept a collection of knockoffs in his home…”

Inevitable as time passes but that only leaves Aldrin, Duke, Scott and Schmitt left of the moonwalkers. Honour their work before it passes out of living memory and get back to the moon...

Glenn Snoddy
May 4, 1922 - May 21, 2018
Recording Engineer
Accidental Inventor of the Fuzz Tone

https://www.nytimes.com/2018/05/25/o...tone-dies.html

https://www.billboard.com/articles/n...-pedal-dies-96

“A malfunction in the console through which the playing of the electric bass by guitarist Grady Martin was being transmitted caused the original fuzz-tone effect, …
The low, reverberant sound produced by Grady Martin’s bass on Marty Robbins’ ‘Don’t Worry’ …, was reminiscent of a rumbling car muffler…

Overriding the objections of Grady Martin, who felt that another take was needed to fix what he considered an unwelcome sonic intrusion, Glenn Snoddy and Don Law, the session’s producer, believed they had a unique sound on their hands and decided to leave their putatively flawed recording intact.”
-New York Times
