KEITH EMERSON, who helped pioneer prog rock as the keyboardist for the Nice and Emerson, Lake & Palmer, has died aged 71 after apparently taking his own life. Here's the Rolling Stone obit, a Slate profile from 2012,1971 footage of Keith theatrically stabbing his Hammond organ with knives, a statement from Greg Lake, "Rondo," an adapatation of Dave Brubeck from The Nice's debut LP,and "Hoedown," with ELP in 1973.

WEEKEND BOX OFFICE: Zootopia repeats atop the chart with 50MM, again exceeding expectations and clearing 400MM worldwide. Its 33 percent drop compares favorably with The Incredibles, The Lego Movie and Up.10 Cloverfield Lane placed with 25.2MM, right about in line with studio projections.  If this sequel-of-sorts performs as well worldwide, they'll make a good return on a 15MM production budget.  Deadpool shows again with another 10.8MM; its global total now beats Iron Man and is closing on Guardians of the Galaxy.  Forth slot goes to London Has Fallen with 10.7MM, dropping 50 percent, much like Olympus Has Fallen did in its second frame.  Whiskey Tango Foxtrot rounds out the Top Five with 4.6MM, which will have to rely on overseas markets to break even. The Perfect Match, The Young Messiah, and The Brothers Grimsby all debuted below the fold. Ouch.
