The last few weeks have been kind to the Iudices Barbarorum. First, Ian "Lemmy" Kilmister, bassist/vocalist of Motörhead and the last Roman of rock and roll, died quickly after a cancer diagnosis.  This one hurt.  As he sang in the later live shows, "I don't want to live forever...but apparently I am."  I think we all thought he never had to go.

Next year was Alan Rickman, who is best known for his roles in the Harry Potter films, and also as Hans Gruber in Die Hard.





 Last but not least, Grizzly Adams was definitely a man to be reckoned with.
 Who else hangs around with a bear? And what a beard!
