I'm ashamed to admit, when the message flashed onto my phone and I read "Monty Python member dead" all I thought was "Please don't be John Cleese! Please don't be John Cleese!" and then I felt relief when I read the whole thing.

Sorry, Neil. RIP.

Music Composer Θάνος Μικρούτσικος (Thanos Mikroutsikos)
He was very polular in Greece, mostly for setting in music the poetry of Νίκος Καββαδίας (Nikos Kavvadias) in the late 70s.

here's a hit he had in the 90's while making a shot in a popular in greece genre.

RIP Neil Innes, one-time member of The Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band and the Monty Python creative team, but perhaps his finest hour was as a member of The Rutles. A friend of mine bought one of The Rutles spoof albums claiming that it was as good as listening to the Beatles, and Neil's songwriting is uncanny in catching the Beatles style: Oasis should've invited him to join their band.

(Neil is the Lennon figure on the rooftop clip.)

I wish he had implemented some rules to prevent the constant clock stopping at the end of the game.

During the bowl games today ESPN pointed out the NBA went fromh 15 to 30 teams under his watch. Even though I have my complaints he obviously was great for the game of basketball.

You know what would be great for the game of basketball? Nothing cause basketball sucks and I'm glad David Stern is dead.
