The RIP thread...

fuck. what have i done?

/puts geography text book down trousers

More thinking that a Venn diagram of our musical influences and experiences may have significant overlap.

Important question (there is only one right answer) - Journey or Night Ranger?

i'd have to go with neither... journey has been ruined by the family guy/glee ironic ribtickler brigade (see surfinbird) and sister christian will allways be know as that song form GTA. tho steve perry does have arguably the greatest chin in rock n roll. and the video or 'seperate ways' is mindblowing.

Queensrÿche.

RIP 68yr old Richard Mannington Bowes ... assaulted by rioters in Ealing. Terribly sad to hear of his death.

Eamonn Holmes. Ate himself to death.

His gravestone

Big tailbacks on A3, approaches to M25 and in other direction to Wimbledon. Due to flamin Olympic bikes. Keep sport in a stadium.

Eamonn Holmes. Ate himself to death.

I once had to film in his dressing room.. he had the creepiest shrine to Manchester United in it... It was part boyish fandom part psychopathic voodoo shit..

His local branches of Patisserie Valerie/Maison Blanc/Paul will all close and Krispy Kreme will go into administration causing massive job losses. His wife will say "He was a fat fucker who everybody thought was an 18 carat cunt but he had a big heart. Just not a very strong one...."

are we over this crackhead yet?

Thanks for bringing that back up. Very edifying.

Wonder how many people would have reacted to Hendrix or Cobain's death with 'junkie scum, hurr hurrrrr'. And what sort of people they would be.

Your avatar is going to be very apropos on this thread very soon.

aging hippy potheads and stoner grunge wasters perhaps?

Such a spiteful sod! What the fuck's up with you tonight?!

He's in his bunker with the last 3 loyalists - bound to be a bit of strain

Your bitterness makes me sad, Mr Smyth. I hope that the root of it doesn't give you too much pain and wish you love.

MrSmyth has more than one side to him, and the side that I know is very generous and engaging, and I mean that very sincerely.
He just appears to have a low tolerance of certain things is all.

I liked Amy Winehouse alot, and if he didn't, it doesn't bother me a bit. Its like Michael Jackson - he was a nasty paedo, but so many are blinded by his musical (well deserved actually) reputation, that I don't bother to argue with them. They believe what they want, and I believe the official court documents. To each, their own.

just wondering if people's grief for was ephemeral or they really cared and what stage the affected are at on the Kübler-Ross model? is celebrity grief different from personal grief.

who the fuck said i was bitter? despite working like a dog, having a cold and not having any time off i'm remarkably chipper.

It isn't like that at all - there's a difference between being a predatory and powerful adult and using this to get sexual gratification offa kids and damaging no-one but yourself with drugs. You do see this, yes?

The point was that there are 2 dead musicians, and some fans still adore them, no matter what others say, and some people can't abide the fuss.

No-one was comparing personal issues, just the reactions of fans and non-fans.
