Well, we have to say goodbye to yet another great. Fred Willard, the great comic actor and "mockumentary" master (including 1984's This Is Spinal Tap), passed away on Friday of natural causes (exactly what those were is not yet known) at the age of 86:
"I think honesty is of the first, utmost importance in art... any art. After that comes technique and... after that comes talent. Honesty is first. All the rest of the things are important, too, but they're secondary. Without honesty, I don't care how much technique you have, you have nothing."--Linda Ronstadt
