Okay. I did it. Last night I read the Gene-Adelphi post and realized he and others were not going to let a music obit stay a music obit, they are going to dig and post whatever they could find. So I split the remarks - now he and others can speculate and post in the other thread.

In the more distant future, scholars wanting to research the music of Bob Brozman may find the obit thread and the links people posted to interviews and music, and they will find reminiscences of people musically influenced by him.

Keep in mind: for the relatively low number of people who post here, there are a lot more who visit for doing research who never post. It's my thought that if they want to know about his music, they can find it here, and if they want to know about his private life and the allegations that are turning up, they can follow the ample number of links posted now to the other thread.

Personally, I could leave it all in one place, like the Jimmy Savile thread from the last couple of years. But the arguing was a mess, and mudcat is about music. In my reading I got the impression that more people wanted the discussions separate, not lumped together, there was quite an outcry when the Savile obit thread name was changed. So I took the opportunity to split it into two threads early in the discussion. It isn't easy to move a whole bunch of posts later on, much easier to do it now. You can't make everyone happy all of the time, but now you know my reasoning for making the move.
