R.I.P. Marvin Hamlisch

The Pulitzer Prize-winning composer who imbued his movie and Broadway scores with pizazz and panache and often found his songs in the upper reaches of the pop charts, died on Monday in Los Angeles. He was 68 and lived in New York.

He was the composer of the 10th James Bond movie ‘The Spy Who Loved Me’.

"I stay in debt because I pattern myself after America. When America pays her bills, I'm gonna pay mine!" - Dick Gregory

The guy was a great composer.

"The other versions will disappear. Even the 35 million tapes of Star Wars out there won't last more than 30 or 40 years. A hundred years from now, the only version of the movie that anyone will remember will be the DVD version [of the Special Edition], and you'll be able to project it on a 20' by 40' screen with perfect quality. I think it's the director's prerogative, not the studio's to go back and reinvent a movie." - George Lucas
