    One of the great Funk Soul / Funk musicians has passed away at the age of 70: bassist Donald "Duck" Dunn. He was still playing and touring - he had been on stage in Tokyo just a few hours before he died. "Duck" held down the bass chair on many, many classic Stax recordings e.g. Otis Redding, and played with Booker T and the MGs with Steve Cropper (anyone for Green Onions?. He was also in The Blues Brothers band and film.

    From out there on the moon, international politics look so petty. You want to grab a politician by the scruff of the neck and drag him a quarter of a million miles out and say, ‘Look at that, you son of a bitch’.

    — Edgar Mitchell, Apollo 14 Astronaut
