Artist/Author Maurice Sendak dies at 83

[Jobydrone]

He was best known for the hugely popular "Where the Wild Things Are", originally published in 1963 and still flies off shelves in bookstores to this day.  He also co-created the 70's hit stage show and TV special "Really Rosie" with Carole King.  I had the soundtrack on LP of Really Rosie and listened to it over and over again when I was a kid.  Some seminal memories he's responsible for.

Here's a funny clip from an interview he did about the technology of the future (some language)

This is sad.  I read "Wild things' soooo many times to my kids.
