😢Ryū Murakami, the Japanese novelist, artist and filmmaker best known for authoring the critically acclaimed counterculture novel "Almost Transparent Blue," has died. He was 74.
Murakami died Oct. 17 at his home in Tokyo, his longtime publisher, Gentosha, announced on its website Friday, Oct. 23.
The publisher, in a statement written in Japanese, said his family had already held funeral services and that they "respectfully" decline "condolence money, floral tributes, condolence telegrams, and memorial offerings." The statement also requests privacy for the family.

Mach‘s gut, Bachkanal!
Nach dem heutigen Tag wird MDR Klassik eingestellt. Der Radiosender, den mein Opa hörte, zu dem ich zuletzt viele Texte geschrieben habe, eines der wenigen Radios, das klassische Musik nicht nur »zum Träumen und Entspannen« spielt, sondern ernst nimmt & über »Die kleine Nachtmusik« hinausdenkt.
MDR Klassik war der einzige Sender, der gezielt die im Wortsinn weltumstürzende Kulturgeschichte Mitteldeutschlands wach hielt, der sich genauso gezielt um alte Musik kümmerte. Kurz: Ausgerechnet in Zeiten, in denen die Besinnung auf das zivilisatorisch Wertvolle wichtiger wird, wird ein quicklebendiges Archiv, ein Leuchtturm dessen eingestellt.
Der Sender war, ganz sicher, eine Nische. Mir erscheint das am Leben halten dieser Nischen wichtiger denn je. Wenn das nicht Programmauftrag des ÖRR ist, was dann? Wir werden uns noch nach solchen Orten zurücksehnen.
Falls das jemand vom MDR-Klassik-Team liest: Sie haben wunderbares Radio gemacht. Danke dafür & farewell! 🫶🏼

Fortunately some people still find me funny enough to allow me to make a living from it
And of course, there are some people I don't try to amuse
The pompous ones, mainly

After Mitch Ryder and the Detroit Wheels dissolved, Mitch formed a new band called simply Detroit. Grand Funk Railroad's is still my favorite cover of "Gimme Shelter" but this one's close, real close. Produced by Bob Ezrin!
