RIP: Robert Moog
Robert Moog died today. Oh, Bob Moog! I met you once and you were a really cool, old whacko. I played one of your earliest machines at Mills College. You changed music forever, and were so committed to analog. I wish I had met you when I was smarter.

It's all over the papers here - amazing. He was a dude. On the BBC they prononce his name Moeg, like Nic Roeg. Is that right? I always thought it was Moog, like a cow Mooing.

Moog like Vogue! He was great. I'm glad he's being celebrated right in England. No so much here, except on college radio stations.

Ah, the mystery of Moog Moeg Mogue.

Yes, all over the news, and a special report on the radio news this morning too, complete with analogue obsessive electronic musician mourning and opining.

That last bit sounds annoying, but it's only right!

Moog like rogue.

Wow, did he ever change music! I'm glad that he's getting a fitting tribute in the UK. I wouldn't expect the US to weep over losing an artist. But in 10 years, they'll put him on a stamp.

Sad day.

Oh, god, you're so right about the stamp. It hurts.
