I just played Pass It On in church a couple weeks ago.I may sound like an old-school scrooge saying this, but there's just no comparison between the songs written in the 20th century and those from the 21st. It's as if Chris Tomlin showed up on the scene and everything went to crap. Now we have nonsense like "Reckless Love" by Cory Asbury... reckless theology, reckless songwriting, an all-around wreck.

I have been informed by friends of the family that William Goldman died last night. He was 87. Goldman, who twice won screenwriting Oscars for All The President’s Men and Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, passed away last night in his Manhattan home, surrounded by family and friends. His health had been failing for some time, and over the summer his condition deteriorated.We will be following this and building out the story today, but I wanted to let Deadline readers know straight away. From his scripting work to his books like Adventures in the Screen Trade, Goldman is one of the greats, a true legend.Goldman began as a novelist and transitioned to writing scripts with Masquerade in 1965. While his greatest hits were the indelible pairing of Robert Redford with Paul Newman in the George Roy Hill-directed Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, and Redford and Dustin Hoffman in the Alan Pakula-directed toppling of President Richard Nixon drama All The President’s Men, he wrote the scripts for many other great movies. The list includes the Hoffman-starrer Marathon Man, as well as The Princess Bride, Flowers For Algernon, The Stepford Wives, The Great Waldo Pepper, A Bridge Too Far, Chaplin and Misery. He also did a lot of behind the scenes script doctoring without taking a screen credit, as on films that included A Few Good Men and Indecent Proposal.
Butch Cassidy was one of my favorite movies as a young pup. Two of the most handsome men in Hollywood in one pic. What more could a raging hormonal girl want? LOL! No longer availableRest in peace, Mr. Goldman.
@Machiavelli I was just going to post this. What a talent. Thanks for the RIP
