William Friedkin

He dropped some bangers. To Live And Die In L.A. a personal fave.

Banger indeed. And The French Connection of course. The French Connection 2 was on last night, I’ve never watched it so taped for later this week.

Federico Bahamontes, the Eagle of Toledo, 1959 Tour winner and arguably the greatest climber the sport has ever seen, has died aged 95.

Gutted. Was listening to him yesterday and thinking again what an iconic voice he had

hippy in reply to @andyp

Ah, I did wonder why they mentioned him in the commentary the other day. I didn't realise he was still alive to be honest. I've got his biography around here somewhere.

Who is the fella with Bob and Van? And the two guys to the left of Joni and Neil?

Amazed the last Hawk standing is the one with elephantiasis of the head.

rickster in reply to @moocher

I'm going to hazard Ronnie Hawkins, plus Dr John and Neil Diamond.

I read Robertson's book just recently. His constant self-aggrandisation is a bit hard to take but his recall of detail is astonishing. Such a huge part of that incredible band. Sad loss.

withered_preacher in reply to @rickster

He always struck me as someone who took a bit too much credit for the Band's success.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

> Quote text by starting lines with >

Mention another user by @username

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

```
Your code goes here
```
Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.

If you upload more than 5 files we will display all attachments as thumbnails.
