I also forgot to post that Television guitarist Tom Verlaine passed. Not the most famous name in music but highly influential punk guitarist, Marquee Moon is a top 5 punk album.

Theo Sipowicz
Without him to reflect off, I don't think that Andy Sipowicz role would have been as powerful. Particularly after his wife got murdered.

Not Munch! Nooooooooo!!!!!!
There's going to be a lot of shows holding memorials. I've posted them before, I'm sure dozens of lists out there all the shows that had a Munch viewing.
