I am just getting back from a day in the city to see the ball game, and did
not hear the news about this death - I will have to read up on it.
Armstrong was an unusual and interesting guy.

What strikes me about this flub is my experience having administered what
feels like a million IQ tests over the years. One of the early, and
supposedly easy questions on the most commonly administered individual IQ
test is "Who was the first man to walk on the moon?". I am always shocked
how many people answer: "Louis Armstrong". So, for me at least, he lived
much of his life as Louis Armstrong, and went out (briefly) as Neil Young.
