I have to admit that I am surprised that only two other Mudcatters have contributed to this thread, but I am assuming that most Americans & Brits have not heard of him and the band Yothu Yindi.


Avoidance of naming the dead:

This makes it difficult to discuss him by name, but media articles use the deceased's name to announce the death or pay tribute to the deceased. It's made more complicated by modern society and communication.

I didn't know how to start the Obit thread without naming him.
