Sympathy for #Siegfried (of #SiegfriedAndRoy) after #Roy is Lost to #COVID19 @Distractify @NYpost #SiegfriedFischbacher (a.k.a. #Delmare) #RoyHorn (originally #UweLudwigHorn)
Roy Horn (of the magic- and large animal-show "Siegfried & Roy") died of COVID-19 the other day. I (and a few others I know) wondered 'How's Siegfried (Fischbacher) handling it?' And I searched for it, but all I could find was "stories about Roy Horn's death"—lending credence to Siegfried's comment that "There's no Siegfried without Roy, no Roy without Siegfried' ... of course, adding 'Fischbacher' to the search directed me to more 'Siegfried-specific content.'
'Those names' (both his & his partner's ... below-hyperlinked to 'what happened to Siegfried & Roy' (mentioning Roy's death, as well as his previous injury when one of their tigers was a bit rough when trying to help him)) are built on even-deeper sources ... something crucial that firms the foundation upon which our mind-palaces stand ...
The name “Siegfried” is built on ancient words that mean "|Victory, Peace" (the name of a Hero of Germanic Legend, from the Norse Legend of |Sigurd, used in Richard Wagner's The Ring of Nibelung).
The name “Roy” is an Anglicized version of the name #Ruadh (built on ancient words that mean "|Red") but is often associated with (and actually more-closely resembles) words that mean "|King" (Royal? helLOHHohh 😉).
Siegfried's last name “Fischbacher” resembles a name built on ancient words that mean "|Fish, |Stream" (his surname is probably 'locational'—the name of "the family that lives over by the fish-stream").
Roy's last-name “Horn” was either an Occupational name for people who Carved things made of Horn, or a Locational for people who lived near a |Mountain or -a |Bend in the River or -some other Horn-|Shaped thing.
Siegfried's early stage-name “Delmare” might just be 'Siegfried's young creativity at work,' but it resembles a French name that means "of the |Sea."
And Roy's original given-name “Uwe Ludwig” is built on ancient words that mean "|Edge of a |Sword, |Terror" & "|Famous |Battle or -|War."
Roy Horn was the first COVID-19 'celebrity fatality' whom I'd ever heard-of ... him & Little Richard ...
(I'd heard about a few others–Joe Diffee, John Prine–but no names I really recognized)
Know anything else interesting about that? Comment!
