Brundlefly 2,385 Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 Most people have to be dead to become a legend, John Williams isn't a legend although he is still alive, he is a legend because he is still alive, and keeps on composing and conducting.

Cerebral Cortex 3,357 Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 Hamill sent out some nice birthday wishes to the Maestro on Twitter today. Not quite sure how that top-right pic snuck in there, but still a nice gesture. It's unfortunate that Williams will probably never see it. SHOUT OUT to John Williams for no particular reason other than being the greatest composer of our lifetime. You made the #StarWars movies... EPICS. Thanks for the countless memorable film scores, you big hunk o' genius! ❤️- mh #Gr8ful pic.twitter.com/JRmWfZBhxC — Mark Hamill (@HamillHimself) February 8, 2018 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post TownerFan 4,983 Posted February 9, 2018 Author Popular Post Share Posted February 9, 2018 A lovely write-up tribute to the Maestro by Austin Wintory (composer of video games such as Journey, Assassin's Creed, Abzu) https://medium.com/@awintory/happy-86th-john-williams-625efd042fac Taikomochi, Smeltington and Score 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Score 770 Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 Very nice. I particularly like this passage: Quote The fact that John Williams has inspired so many legions of people to engage with their creativity is, to my mind, his true contribution. It goes beyond what he did. It’s akin to when an inventor doesn’t just build a better mousetrap, but ends up spawning an entire industry. Williams has caused people to engage with their inner selves; to share their talents with the world in ways that, had his work not existed, they may not have. That is legacy that few humans have ever achieved. It’s his true gift to us all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
