    This week's celebrity death

    Feels like there's one every week, so thought it might be an idea to have the one thread 🤔

    This week it's David Crosby. Eight miles high now.

    Remember seeing him and Graham Nash in a Fringe thing at the Playhouse back in the 70s. Full of hippies obviously. I fell asleep halfway through.

    Did well to get to his 80s!

    Was listening to an obituary piece by John Robb this morning, who said that Crosby was posting on Instagram only two days ago.

    Oh no. Geez, another hero gone. It’s crap getting old.

    Just saw this dreadful news.

    Marquee Moon is one of my favourite tracks of all time and contains my favourite guitar solo of all time. Others will put into words better than me how good it is.

    Lisa Loring, her dying means that Gomez is the only one left alive from the original series, John Astin is 92 now and is far and away the most successful acting career of all the cast of the original show.


    Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.

    I was watching a programme last week about Aretha, centred on three of her many great songs, "I Say A Little Prayer" was the middle one.

    While Bacharach and David will be indelibly associated with Dionne Warwick and Dusty Springfield, I think there is another measure of their incredible talent.

    This was in their capacity to write songs that were able to be reinterpreted to thei performer's style while still retaining that B&D magic to make them automatic classics for their cover artist - I'm thinking Isaac Hayes and the Manic Street Preachers for two.

    I missed that Richard Belzer, comedian and actor who played John Munch on Law & Order Special Victims Unit, Homicide Life on the Street and 30 Rock, was in X Files and too many other shows to mention, died on Sunday 19th.

    My favourite britpop era band. Proper sense of humour and intelligence as well as the great songs.
