R.I.P. LyricWiki, which closed down today.

I made use of it one last time (for a lot of stuff!) late last night, as it was then that I discovered it was about to shut down.

This is interesting:

A February 19, 1992 article from The New York Times reported the launch of a cartoon channel from Turner. It was written by NYT regular Bill Carter.

A couple years later, Carter was one of two guests on the Space Ghost: Coast to Coast episode "CHiPs", alongside talk show host Joe Franklin. It was that same year that Carter got The Late Shift published.

Can we talk about how a French home video company had an opening logo consisting of an animated Groucho Marx set to disco music? I especially like the Fender Rhodes solo during the second half, even if it's just the warning message.

Alternative rock pioneers Lou Reed, David Bowie and Iggy Pop have some interesting connections with their animation credentials:

Reed and Pop both provided the singing voice of Mok in Rock & Rule, while Arthur and the Invisibles had Bowie as the voice of Emperor Maltazard, with Reed taking over the character for the two sequels; Pop also voiced Prince Darkos in the third film, replacing Jason Bateman from the first.

@RandomMe Have you ever heard of "1983 (A Merman I Should Turn To Be)" by The Jimi Hendrix Experience? If not, I think you may want to check it out when you have the time (emphasis on "when you have the time" because it's over 13 minutes long).
