RIP Art Dudley

Just saw this today.  I was reading his column in the current issue before going to bed last night so it came as a shock to see the thread title.  I did enjoy his writing style and frequently found myself disagreeing with him but he was enjoyably provocative.

Art Dudley... a “Bunny” for you my dear friend.

I just saw this news. How sad. He was a very entertaining writer, and I learned a lot from his writings for Stereophile. He was as opposite as you could get from an uptight audiophile. He will be missed. A lot.

Very shocked 
nice guy met him a while back 
love his writing

WoW. What a loss for all of us. He was funny, cantankerous, opinionated, subversive....you can pile on adjectives to describe. The best would probably be unique. His family lost a husband and father, we lost a friend and mentor. He intuitively understood that just because it was "new" did not mean it was "better" and that sometimes the past can teach us about the present and future. I will go back and read from my collection of Listener magazines, and then relish the last few articles that will appear in SP. He will not be easy to replace, and he will not be forgotten.
