    Thoughts On The 2018 List

    Missed chance.... though I didn't make a good case by misspelling the name (will never happen with Jean-Louis Trintignant).

    Political Frailty

    Perennial Mississippi candidate Shawn O'Hara dead at 60: https://www.usnews.com/news/best-states/mississippi/articles/2018-11-23/shawn-ohara-perennial-candidate-in-mississippi-dies-at-60 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shawn_O'Hara He was a candidate for the Democrats and the Reform Party, for mayor, senator, governor, senator, treasurer, attorney general, auditor and lieutenant governor, sometimes for all at once. His platform was pro-Confederacy, pro-marihuana, lower gas prices, and some other minor issues. His second claim to fame was that he was perennially being not-Jean Louis Trintignant.

    Aww, that would make me sad... Should have been on the List (like maybe Jean-Louis Trintignant?), I think I said before.

    Minimalists (and other classical composers/musicians)

    Krzysztof Penderecki, according to the Guardian, "Poland's greatest living composer" unable to attend one of his 85th birthday concerts for "personal reasons": https://slippedisc.com/2018/11/penderecki-drops-out-of-birthday-events-for-personal-reasons/ Reminds me of Pierre Boulez - on the other hand, maybe he's just sad about the state of health of Jean-Louis Trintignant.

    The EU Referendum Hokey Cokey

    I read a theory that the hard Brexit is very much desired by the financial sector, because the likely economic collapse would give an excuse to transform the UK into a free-market-paradise (à la Shock Doctrine).
