Oh, not that Axelrod. Not even the cute redhead on Billions. Well, RIP, in that case.

Damned! We lost a good guy and the commie bastard son of Obama is still alive and rich.

Hey God, no more “missed him by that much”. I’ll lend you my eyeglasses if need be. Take out America’s domestic traitors so that we can “make America safe again”.

“Axelrod has been sampled by the likes of Dr. Dre, the Wu-Tang Clan, Lauryn Hill, Lil Wayne, DJ Shadow, Masta Ace and countless others.”

In other words, a bunch of no talents ripped off this man - who had talent and ability. Got it.

He co-wrote the great Lou Rawls tune that won a Grammy: Dead End Street.

He also produced Cannonball Adderly's albums, including Mercy, Mercy, Mercy

No...I was thinking the same thing. The other one that looks like a 50s B&W Porn star who keeps his socks on all the time. I was really hoping it was him.

There are times when he really does look like Hitler to me.

That being said, Hitler is a guy I couldn’t draw if I had to.

I have never seen a great photo of him up close, Or at least that stuck with me, and am not convinced I’d want to.

Thus his image is more a generalization to me, than a real firm likeness.
