Danny Elfman, the man responsible for the scores and theme tunes of a vast array of popular visual culture including The Simpsons, the Pee-Wee films, Tim Burton films, Men in Black, Nightbreed, Spider-man, and many more was the front man for 1980’s pop band Oingo Boingo.
Its always sad when you hear about a person’s greatness after they have left this mortal coil but we’re glad we got to discover Pete Kleinow. He was a man of many talents who had a long career as a steel guitarist in bands such as the Flying Burrito Brothers and The Byrds. But he was also a talent to be reckoned with in legendary TV and film. He worked as a stop motion animator and special effects artist on classics such as: Gumby (he also wrote and performed the theme music!), Outer Limits, Land of the Lost, The Empire Strikes Back, Gremlins, The Right Stuff, The Terminator, Dune, Return of the Living Dead, Robocop 2, Terminator 2, Army of Darkness and Holes. He won an emmy for his work on the tv mini series The Wind of War. So the world as we know it wouldn’t be quite the same without him…Thanks Pete.
