#fuck2016 etc...

You are right fuck 2016.

Goooooooooahooold fingah.

He was a nonce.

you take that back

He was a bit.

Married a fifteen year old and then knocked up a different fifteen year old a few years later.

No I won't, he was a predator. John Peel was a paedophile.

What does it say about the world we live in when rational, normal people are genuinely upset that a star (they didn't know) who is no longer producing any work of merit dies?

Can we discuss?

Maybe no-one outside of your immediate family, friends and colleagues ever made an impact on you.

For me, that is not the case.

It's not like I have heroes, or father figures, or those I aspire to. More that at certain points in my life and through some dark days, or just when I was feeling a little lost and lonely, I found in some creative works something that kept me going, or helped me be more of who I am.

I'm not the fawning kind, but the story is the same yet unique for a lot who feel some link to a creator. The author isn't there in the work when that work is making it's impression, but later when the impression has been made, when we have hindsight, it's possible to acknowledge that the author's efforts was the original spark that created the catalyst.

In that the author is important, and the difference made to the mass of individuals is real and tangible. It's not a leap to imagine lives led without that catalyst event, without the rich tapestry that has since been woven.

To be moved by a work, to acknowledge and feel indebted to a person, to have an (unrequited) emotional response to that person (even when their subsequent work may be terrible and be no such catalyst again)... does not make people fucking morons.

But then, I don't think you actually wanted to discuss it.

On that subject I quite liked this but I'm fucked if I can embed it properly after 666 cans of Strongbow for lunch:

Talking of Elton John; it seems he is planning a memorial concert. Great.
I wonder if he can re-work Candle in the Wind again.

Goodbye Georgios Kyriacos Panayiotou.

That scans if you squint.

Lemmy died on the 28th December 2015.

Still feels like yesterday... What's your point?

Agreed with first post, didn't read the others.

Where's Howard Kendall?

^ actually, he went back end of 2015

Here here, totally agree.

Crawley market, 1992. As a surly 15 year old being fellated by the lady from the bread van, the sounds of Listen Without Predudice Vol. 1 gently wafting through from the cab of my bosses lorry became the soundtrack to my youth.

I still pop my nut every time I walk through the pastries aisle in Waitrose.

Also where is Shabba Ranks ?

Punchy

Operation yew tree?

Possibly. Although by then I had moved out of home, was living in a caravan at the arse end of Tilgate forest and looked like a 6'1" 250lb fat Miles Hunt by that stage.

Come to think of it, probs a pity nosh. Bah...

#fuck1992
