Dependable Erection

Is this the best obituary ever?

Kind of an oxymoron, i know, but this NYTimes piece on the late record producer Jerry Wexler is quite wonderful:
Given the chance, Mr. Wexler would have produced to the end and beyond.

“I asked him once,” said Mr. Thurman, the filmmaker, “ ‘What do you want written on your tombstone, Jerry?’ He said, ‘Two words: More bass.’ ”


Makes me want to go and pick up his autobiography.
