I was lucky enough to see the original Broadway touring company of Sondheim's "Sweeney Todd" in Los Angeles circa 1980. To this day it's the most jaw-dropping show of any kind I've ever seen. The man reinvented musical theater and, by all accounts, was an incredibly kind and generous person, giving endless help and advice to people who sought guidance as the tried for careers in music or theater. An absolute giant. And hearing of his death the same weekend as I was watching the "Get Back" documentary -- and feeling like John and George were back with us -- really shook me.

I'm so sad she didn't make it to 100. Her birthday celebration movie is still on, though.

Betty White was the first celebrity death in more than a year that really hit me. It just felt like she was supposed to live to 100, maybe 150. But it's been wonderful seeing all the clips of her that people have shared online (one of the things Twitter is actually good for). A couple I had never seen made me laugh harder than I've laughed in years. What an amazing talent -- and, by pretty much all accounts, a lovely person.
