Burt Bacharach has Died
[Powerline] Burt Bacharach was of course the incredibly inventive composer in the legendary songwriting partnership with lyricist Hal David. Bacharach died yesterday at the age of 94. Stephen Holden’s New York Times obituary provides an excellent short course in the fruits of their partnership. I would like to quote Auden’s great elegy of Yeats: "What instruments we have agree / The day of his death was a dark cold day."
