R.I.P. R.I.P - Conrad Schnitzler and Joe Yamanaka
Posted by Chris Cantino on Mon, Aug 8, 2011 at 9:31 AM
Conrad Schnitzler died of stomach cancer on August 4th. Before his passing, he mailed strands of his hair to be buried at various locations throughout the planet via the Global Living Project.
Japanese musician/actor/philanthropist Akira "Joe" Yamanaka passed away Sunday at the age of 64 due to lung cancer. Joe is well-known for his "tough guy" roles in several Japanese and American action flicks, but he will perhaps be best remembered for his tenure as the lead singer of muscly acid-rock sensation The Flower Travellin' Band and (strangely enough) the post-Marley incarnation of The Wailers.
