That Derek’s “Showbituaries" for November 2016

[That Derek]

That Derek’s “Showbituaries,” November 2016 [FORMERLY “That Derek’s Totally Subjective Necrology”]

This necrology is totally subjective, essentially Anglo-American in its scope, and is reflective of my interests – primarily in the fields of the performing arts, pop culture, US national politics, history, literature, and the New York City / New Jersey area. However, it is also particularly low on jazz/blues/hip-hop music, children’s literature, finer arts (such as opera, ballet, painting, sculpture), and culinary and fashion arts. Occasionally, exceptions for inclusion from fields outside these stated realms will be made.
