  1. Dickey Betts, cofounder of the Allman Brothers Band, died last week. In this essay for Paste, Matt Mitchell remembers his work on "Eat a Peach" and "Brothers and Sisters." "I contend that, between February 1972 and August 1973, there was no greater rocker walking among us than Dickey Betts," Mitchell writes. "Most musicians would kill to write 'Blue Sky,' 'Jessica' and 'Ramblin’ Man' over the course of a long career; Betts did it in just 16 months’ time, a creative peak few musicians of his caliber, genre and longevity have ever paralleled."

  3. Phil Hartman would have turned 75 on Sept. 24. In honor of this, Dana Carvey and David Spade devoted two episodes of their "Fly on the Wall" podcast to their "SNL" castmate. They were joined by Mike Myers, Julia Sweeney, Will Ferrell, Conan O'Brien and more, who shared memories of working with Hartman, and reflected on what might have been. Entertainment Weekly is sharing the tribute here.
