Not meaning to jump to conclusions but did he like John Denver or Luke Skywalker take off without doing a complete preflight and check the fuel quantity?

Well said. He was one of my favorite composers. John Williams, Alan Silvestri, Howard Shore, James Horner and Elmer Bernstein are the five guys who have composed some of the best scores of the best movies of all time.

I'm sure there will be a thorough investigation to what happened.

Of course
Ntsb always investigates a crash.
Specially one involving a death.
Hell, they investigate prop strikes.

Re: “Movie scores are the new classical compositions.”

I totally agree with you. As far as orchestral music goes, film scores are where the great pieces of music are found today. My favorite from James Horner is the score to “Glory”. I love how he combines the beautiful high lyrical sounds of a boys choir with the full orchestra. Absolutely magnificent in the charge on Ft. Pillow.

And, whether you like “Titanic” or not, it was the film score that gave the movie an impact. Without the score that movie wouldn’t have had the appeal it did. The screen play of that film was horrendous - some of the stupidest dialogue I have ever heard. It was the cinematography and the film score together that made that film work.

A great loss to the music world.

Only question is: was it a deliberate act?

Let me consult my 8-ball ....
