71 isn't what I'd consider old - any more, anyway. I'm glad he had such a long and productive career and was able to do what he liked, much of which I respected and enjoyed. Sorry for those he left behind who loved him, especially his wife Laurie Anderson, a performance pioneer in her own right.

For those who remember it, try getting THIS out of your head for the rest of the day:

"And the colored girls go: Doot, dadoot, dadooot, doot da doot doot dadoot dadoot, doot dadoot, doot dadoot doot doot dadoot doot...."
