R. I. P. Neil Innes of The Rutles - the cult Beatles parody collaboration by Monty Python and the original cast of SNL. I saw him perform at the Port Washington Public Library about eight years ago and he was fantastic. It was a whimsical mix of talk and solo acoustic music, and I remember that he closed it out with a section about the meaning of life, which he ultimately said was “to have fun”—a broad, but if you think about it, rather wise credo.
