Legendary bandleader, clarinetist and composer Artie Shaw has passed away at the age of 94. In his lifetime, he became disillusioned with the life of a wildly popular musician, and longed to instead be a writer. He resented the demands of his fans, the bobby soxers, who mobbed him and tore his clothes, and whom he called morons. He tried seeking refuge in Acapulco, but saved a drowning woman, and when the press figured out who he was, he returned home to Hollywood. In 1941 he enlisted in the Navy, which ordered him to form a band. Married eight times, in his later years he gave lectures entitled "Consecutive Monogamy and Ideal Divorce." He appears not to have had any children, and leaves behind a lonely clarinet. (BY SCOTT ROSE)
