James Earl Jones, a career that plumbed race relations, Shakespeare’s rhapsodic tragedies and the menace of Darth Vader, died on Monday, age 93.

@LivingColour@vurnt22@RevDaddyLove@WillCalhounDrum @edstasium @MickJagger@SonyLegacyRecs I was a school kid in Manchester🇬🇧 who used all his pocket money to buy it on vinyl right when it was released and made a cassette copy, so I didn’t wear it out. I was hooked on the riffs, swagger and representation✊🏾
🤬 @LNER is my least fav brand right now. Wednesday’s London-Edinburgh took an additional 6hrs and multiple getting kicked off and joining new trains. Thanks for the apology 330ml water and bag of crisps.
Today on the return home I got on an empty train 30mins earlier than the one I was booked on. You charged me another £115 🤢
But you let someone else off sat next to me…
Seriously?!🧨💩
