Zbigniew Karkowski is dead.

Read about him dying on the way to see a shaman in the jungle because he wouldn't use Western medicine or something. First thing I thought was how did he know he had cancer if he wouldn't use Western medicine?

Not sure why but I've never heard the guy's work or knew anything about him.

Western medicine wasn't able to help him. I don't see anything weird in that. Don't worry about you've never heard the guy's work or knew anything about him. I am affraid he didn't heard about you and your music too. Everybody of us didn't listen all in this world.

Ok, went back & re-read. One thing said Western medicine couldn't help & someone else posted that he "refused Western medicine".

The only interesting thing I've read about him is that he was an obnoxious asshole.

I'm hardly worried about not knowing his work...

He refused Western medicine because it wasn't able to help him. Probably I would do the same thing.
Everybody of us is obnoxious asshole. I didn't know that you are so much interested in what somebody thinks about us.
Always music/art is more important than its creator, even if he is "obnoxious asshole" or talks stupid things.

It's a good thing he died so we could have this wonderful discussion...

Al Goldstein of SCREW magazine died. I had a subscription years ago; too bad I have no idea what happened to them! I use to know someone who worked there. Seems like he was a cartoonist or something.

Phillip Seymour Hoffman.

And Eduardo Coutinho (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0184202/), greatest brazilian documentarian has died today too. It seems like his schizophrenic son stabbed him to death, stabbed his wife (she's in critical state) and tried to kill himself.

Gloomy sunday.
