Henryk Gorécki dies, age 76

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

Today one of the most interesting neoclassical composers dies after a long disease.

Rip Henryk, so sad you'll never see your 'Fourth' in real live...

And a small fillum with one of his greatest works, Symphony 2 'Copernican' - Finale

Graves are filled with men irreplaceable.

Wait...a celebrity "genius" has died...let me go and cry a bit.

Let's rationalize my caring by not ever being able to "enjoy" (as in, getting interested) a new piece of his music again. Oh the sadness.

i don't know how the world keeps turning.

Oh but he was so great...he was SPECIAL.

Let's not cry for the children in Gaza, let's cry for this man instead.

f**k you, f**k you, f**k you.

f**k YOU.

I was trying to formulate a suitable response to itnAklipse, I see from the above you were able to find just right balance of wit and tact. I thank you. :notworthy:
