OT: Very sad news. Jerry Goldsmith has passed away at age 75.

This struck me like a hammer on the head. My most favorite composer has died
of cancer at the age of 75 on July 21.

I always wanted to meet this guy, but I guess I'll never get the chance. His
music has been inspiration to me for many things, and I am sure it has been
inspiration to many other people in their lives, too.

So long Mr. Goldsmith. You'll continue to live in your music and in our
hearts. May your legacy of music also live on with your progeny. - Reinhart

Sad, indeed - I have at least 16 movies in my collection that he scored most
brilliantly.

Goldsmith was the composer everybody thinks that borderline-plagiarist
John Williams is.

I would reserve that remark for Horner (who I actually appreciate) rather
than Williams (who is far more original than most acknowledge).

I dunno. Danny Elfman has virtually built his career around nicking from
Bernard Herrmann.

Also very true...but Danny casts his net wider than Herrmann...and Horner
wider still.

Well both Horner and Williams "borrow" from other sources. I'd like to
praise some of their work but I'm never sure if I'm really praising them
or some other composer. Is there a list somewhere online of all the
things these guys have taken?

Can't we all get along? Horner and Williams *both* steal.
