Graham Greene, the Canadian actor best known for his Oscar-nominated turn in the 1990 film “Dances with Wolves,” died on Monday in Toronto after a battle with long illness. He was 73.

A pioneer for Indigineous actors in Hollywood, Greene made his debut in the 1979 Canadian drama series “The Great Detective” and in the 1983 film “Running Brave.” But his big Hollywood break came with “Dances with Wolves,” in which he co-starred as “Kicking Bird.” The role earned him an Academy Award nomination for best supporting actor in 1991. The film was nominated for 12 Oscars and won seven, including for best picture and best director for Kevin Costner.






In an interview with Canada’s Theatre Museum, he discussed auditioning for “Crimson Tide” with director Tony Scott. Scott said, “I can’t really see a Native American working on a submarine.” Greene replied, “If you could, I would let you tell my four dead uncles who died in the Pacific on subs. Thanks for the trip to New York. I’m going to Sardi’s for lunch now.”

Afterward, he went on to appear in several major Hollywood releases, such as “Maverick,” “Die Hard with a Vengeance,” “The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 2” and “Molly’s Game.” As Arlen Bitterbuck in Frank Darabont’s “The Green Mile,” he was part of the SAG-award nominated ensemble for best performance along with actors including Tom Hanks and Harry Dean Stanton.






He was nominated for a Spirit award for Chris Eyre’s influential 2002 indie “Skins,” about life on Lakota Sioux reservation.

Greene also had a prolific career in television. His credits include “Northern Exposure,” “Murder She Wrote,” “Lonesome Dove: The Series,” “Wolf Lake,” “The Red Green Show,” “Defiance,” “Longmire,” “Goliath,” “Reservation Dogs,” “Echo,” “Riverdale,” “1883,” “The Last of Us” and “Tulsa King.”

Rick Davies, Supertramp Co-Founder Who Wrote and Sang ‘Bloody Well Right’ and ‘Goodbye Stranger,’ Dies at 81


https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/mus ... 48800.html


Rick Davies, one of the two co-founders, frontmen and chief songwriters of the British band Supertramp, which evolved from a progressive-rock group into an unexpected chart-topping ensemble with the album “Breakfast in America,” has died after a long battle with cancer, the band confirmed in a statement. He was 81

Davies, who wrote and sang such Supertramp hits as “Goodbye Stranger” and “Bloody Well Right,” had a deeper and less-distinctive voice than his erstwhile partner, Roger Hodgson, who wrote and sang the band’s biggest hit, “The Logical Song.” Yet it was he who continued the band after Hodgson split in 1983 over a variety of disputes, which began with creative differences but grew to include songwriting royalties and other matters, that carried on in court as recently as last month.

“The Supertramp Partnership is very sad to announce the death of the Supertramp founder, Rick Davies after a long illness,” the statement reads. “Rick passed away at his home on Long Island on September 5th. We had the privilege of knowing him, and playing with him for over fifty years. We offer our sincere condolences to Sue Davies.”

'70s Folk-Rock Singer Behind Iconic Marijuana Hit Dies at 84

.


Tom Shipley of the 1960s and 1970s folk-rock duo Brewer & Shipley has died at the age of 84, reports the New York Times. Shipley's death on August 24 was confirmed by his son, Marc, to the paper, though no cause of death was given.

Brewer & Shipley — made up of Shipley and Michael Brewer — were the pair behind the iconic stoner song of 1971 "One Toke Over the Line," which peaked at No. 10 on the Billboard charts. According to the NYT, the song was inspired by the duo's "dizzying encounter" with marijuana at one of their gigs. A friend gave Shipley some pot at a gig in Kansas City and told him to stop at two hits because it was powerful stuff.

“Of course I wasn’t about to believe him and continued on,” he told It’s Psychedelic Baby in a 2011 interview, adding, "I said to Michael, ‘I’m one toke over the line,’ and he broke into song. There was a refrain that night and some verses the next day, and that was about it. We were trying to make ourselves, and some of our friends, laugh,” he added. “I never would have guessed what it would lead to."

the music scene is a little quieter with these two gone

[BogDog]

Just glad we were here to enjoy it all is what appear to be a short existence for an era of the best music ever made (my opinion of course). I never thought it would all fade away like that.
