RIP Johnny Yune, who enjoyed crossover success for awhile back in the 1980s. The Korean-American actor/nightclub comic is remembered as the star of They Call Me Bruce and They Still Call Me Bruce, a couple of bad but rather innocuous 80s movies in the basic Zucker-Abrams-Zucker style of movie spoof, a mishmash of basic genre parodies, Asian stereotypes and one-liners from Yune's stand up bits, that garnered something of a cult following.

Holy shit, thanks. I just read about it and thought it was recent. Sorry.

It's okay. I had made the opposite error. I thought he died a long time back. Certainly his health was absolutely atrocious for much of his life.

Throbbing Gristle was an interesting band, but Genesis sounded like a bit of a cow from everything I've read about him.

RIP regardless

RIP regardless

Dude was instrumental in starting the Industrial and EBM genres (and I am still a rivethead to this day) but he could be a complete and total prick as well as being a proto crazy tranny (sorta), no question about it. Nonetheless when you die, your successes count more then your sins and he had many many successes. F

That happens every now and then, usually it's just bored Tweeters.

Most likely, but it's going to happen sooner or later. It will be surreal when the Queen does go, she's been on the throne so long that 3 generations of my family have never known a different monarch.
