remotevoices Posted December 29, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 29, 2015 Lemmy - December 1945 - December 2015. Been breaking in the last hour or so in my twitter timeline, Angry Salmond twitter account posted this full live gig from 2005, so I'll go with that as a marker here. I know some here were more involved with Motorhead as a band, as an institution. I had one or two albums, I saw them live. They remained in a league of their own really, as much because of Lemmy. So it goes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wanderer Posted December 29, 2015 Report Share Posted December 29, 2015 Sad, but also not entirely unexpected for those that sort of followed the news. He seemed to have been struggling for a while now. At least he went out the way he wanted: rocking until pretty much the last minute. You got to respect that.

Garage_Rubin Posted January 11, 2016 Report Share Posted January 11, 2016 Sister Lucy DuMont. I only knew her as a nice old lady who worked out at The Gym. She was nice to sit and chat with, when I had a moment. I helped adjust a step-metering device for her once; wasn't set right for her stride length. Hadn't seen her for a while. Now I know why. I did know she'd walked a marathon, because she'd set up a donation box in the staff-room beforehand [which I contributed to, when I remembered and had something on hand]. Didn't know the rest of it 'til now. Patrick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gil Posted January 20, 2016 Report Share Posted January 20, 2016 Glenn Frey R.I.P.: to add to the 2016 hit list. I really believed I would outlive all The Eagles, but it's not to be. He will be missed. The Eagles were still touring until last summer. A composer, lyricist, musician, singer - The Eagles were the soundtrack of my thirties.

Psychophant Posted February 22, 2016 Report Share Posted February 22, 2016 I am a few books away from a full bibliography. This may be the moment to complete it. I am still surprised how he kept writing at such a high level, and still keeping several layers of meaning in his work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gil Posted April 22, 2016 Report Share Posted April 22, 2016 Prince - one of my favourites, particularly the video of Sign o' the Times. Coming just a day after the death of Victoria Wood. All us Brits are very familiar with her. The series, which she wrote and starred in - Dinnerladies - is a classic. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

remotevoices Posted June 16, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2016 Jo Cox. Today a British politician was murdered by a right wing racist fucking bawbag. These are dark and sickening times. We do not approve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gil Posted June 17, 2016 Report Share Posted June 17, 2016 Quote Jo Cox. Today a British politician was murdered by a right wing racist fucking bawbag. These are dark and sickening times. We do not approve. I was going to click Like, but it might give the wrong impression. I do NOT approve of murder as a political gesture. The problem is that this guy is probably going to be tried at great length, and finish up spending a few years in prison or a mental institution at our expense, and then be released among us again, at our expense. Unlike his victim. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
