This thread does not belong in BS. Show respect and put it back up above the line, where all mudcatters can pay tributes if they want to. Stan Lee is worth far more to our worldwide culture & folklore than a thousand average uninspired folk singers... Us Brit kids in the 60s had "Fantastic" & "Terrific" comics, which provided a cheap weekly Black and White anthology of Marvel comic strips; to introduce us to, and catch up on several years worth of the American comic sagas. Shame to have missed out and not enjoyed the full colour comics experience, but otherwise families like mine would never have been able to afford all the different titles required every month to follow all the intertwined characters and stories of the extensive mind boggling Marvel Universe... Waiting before breakfast for the newspaper boy to deliver these comics was the highlight of every dreary school week... Sorry, PFR, but that's the usual practice. Non-music obits go in the non-music section. It's not a matter of respect, or the lack thereof. It's just that Stan Lee was not known as a musician. When Trump dies (may that day come soon), his obit will also go in the non-music section. -Joe Offer-
