Yeah, Rooney, the archetype of the 'grumpy old man'. I guess at 92, there is no such thing as "minor" surgery.

This stinks! Patrice O'Neal (December 7, 1969 - November 29, 2011) only 41. He was a very funny man.

Jim "Motorhead" Sherwood
May 8, 1942 – December 25, 2011
Played soprano, tenor and baritone saxophone, tambourine, vocals and vocal sound effects in Frank Zappa's Mothers of Invention. He appeared on all the albums of the original Mothers line-up and the posthumous releases Burnt Weeny Sandwich and Weasels Ripped My Flesh, as well as certain subsequent Zappa albums.
The nickname "Motorhead" was coined by fellow Mothers member Ray Collins, who observed that Sherwood always seemed to be working on repairing cars, trucks or motorcycles, and joked that "it sounds like you've got a little motor in your head"
