4 American Legends Who Died Today | 25 September 2024

In this Fallen Stars tribute, we reflect on the lives of Hollywood celebrities, American legends, and influential figures who have passed away. Today, we remember Fredric Jameson, the renowned Marxist literary critic who redefined cultural theory. We also honor Richard Dyer, the respected classical music critic known for his contributions to The Boston Globe, and Kim Richmond, the Grammy-nominated jazz saxophonist who left an indelible mark on music history. Additionally, we pay tribute to Melvin Stukes, a dedicated Baltimore City Councilman and member of the Maryland House of Delegates.

Fredric Jameson was known for his groundbreaking works on postmodernism and cultural theory, including The Political Unconscious and Postmodernism, or the Cultural Logic of Late Capitalism. His ideas continue to shape academic discourse, and today, we honor his legacy.

Richard Dyer, a pivotal figure in classical music journalism, passed away at the age of 82. His decades-long career at The Boston Globe earned him recognition as one of the leading voices in classical music criticism, and his insightful reviews helped shape the understanding of music for generations of readers.

Kim Richmond dedicated his life to jazz, performing with legends like Stan Kenton, Louie Bellson, and Johnny Mandel. His Grammy-nominated albums Artistry and Refractions solidified his status as a masterful saxophonist and composer. Richmond’s jazz performances and his work with young musicians will forever be remembered.

Melvin Stukes, a champion for the people of Baltimore, spent his career advocating for economic stability and justice. His service in the Maryland House of Delegates and his involvement in the Baltimore community leaves a lasting impact on all who knew him.
