Yeah, a terrific character actor, a very recognisable name and face, and in two of my favourite films as well.

Gen's passing is a tough one to talk about after reading Cosey's book, they meant so much to me during the formative years of me finding art outside of the metal/punk scenes but the physical, psychological and emotional abuse allegations from the book on top of lots of other claims over the years just left a real sour taste in my mouth.

Echo the love for Roy Hudd, I was a big fan of the News Huddlines in the late 80s/early 90s. Sad one, but he leaves a great legacy.

Ugh, I've just realised this thread is probably going to get really busy in the next few months.

That sounds like a threat. 

Anything happens to anyone in the next few months we know who to blame

yeah, it's difficult to really look at Genesis with much sympathy, when it's pretty clear they were a bit of a monster, all told. 

As much as Throbbing Gristle were a bit of a gateway drug for me to all kinds of other interesting music, and I'm gutted I never saw them live - was due to, but the show was cancelled after Sleazy Christopherson passed away - I think any affection I have for them has been solidly directed toward Cosey more than Genesis for some years now.

I anticipate many headlines referring to his death as "breaking even."

I wondered why my friend in Facebook had shared Just Dropped In (To See What Condition My Condition Was In) on Facebook this morning. Did some great songs. Sad loss.

He knew when to hold them, when to fold them etc
