Death of Xavier by Legion

Had to clarify which death of Xavier. Only in comics do you have to specify which death. Well Legion was Xavier’s bat-shit crazy son. In an attempt to rid the world of Magneto, he travels back in time. But instead of killing Magneto he kills Xavier (also inadvertently ceasing his creation, smooth move x-lax). This immediately starts the alternate reality of Age of Apocalypse.

The death of Captain America

Although they never stay dead… he was one character I never thought they’d kill. He’s so iconic.

RIP Les Paul

WHITE PLAINS, N.Y. — Les Paul, the guitarist and inventor who changed the course of music with the electric guitar and multitrack recording and had a string of hits, many with wife Mary Ford, died on Thursday. He was 94.

According to Gibson Guitar, Paul died of complications from pneumonia at White Plains Hospital. His family and friends were by his side.

As an inventor, Paul helped bring about the rise of rock ‘n’ roll and multitrack recording, which enables artists to record different instruments at different times, sing harmony with themselves, and then carefully balance the “tracks” in the finished recording.
