A year ago I worried about whether or not Grant Hart's death had warranted him an obituary in The New York Times* - or, as I call it, "The Times" - and right now I just discovered the paper has an entire section on this theme, OVERLOOKED:
Overlooked is a series of obituaries about remarkable people whose deaths, beginning in 1851, went unreported in The Times.
A pioneering record-label owner and engineer, she played guitar in a raw and unapologetically abrasive way. “Whatever song it was,” she said, “I always creamed it.” he startling second act of Jackson’s musical career, as she became — among a certain set — an elder stateswoman of grungy thrash guitar. During a 1988 appearance on the WFMU radio show “The Hound,” Jackson plugged in her guitar and let it rip; the result sounds less like a performance than a wild animal turned loose in the studio. In an interview, Jim Marshall, the show’s host, described Jackson’s playing as “some of the most vicious, nasty rock ’n’ roll guitar I’ve ever heard in my life.”
* IT DID! 🤗 ❤️
