Strange timing. Of course it’s just how the universe “works”, but it is a bit surreal…
Jeff Beck (meningitis), I don’t know all that much about, but I’ve heard some of his music/playing before… Definitely talented, but I’m surprised he lasted this long, as a formerly drug-taking rocker…
Pell (“complications arising from hip surgery”) - a very controversial figure, in Australia and beyond. Takes his secrets to his grave, and obviously can no longer defend his own name…
Lisa-Marie (heart attack, declared brain dead after being “revived”) - that’s the most tragic one, I think. 54, tragic family history and clearly went through a lot. Seemed like a sad, damaged, volatile, fragile person. You might disagree with some of what she did, and some of the choices she made, but she certainly lived a complex life, and tried to manage the spotlight literally from when she was born, as best she could. It’s very unfortunate that, like so many celebrity families, here has been full of so many early “departures”…
Vale. Vale all. “Advertising Space” rings even more hollow now.
“There’s no earthly way of knowing what was in your heart, when it stopped going.” - 😳
Michael Bachman from BTO and Jeff Beck this week also. Both sudden.
Didn't hear about Bachman. BTO drummer.
Bububububaybee you ain't seen nothin' yet. Here's something here's something you're never gonna forget. Mmmm-mmmmm no, no, you ain't seen nothin' yet.
What a riot!
I made up my own Mad Magazine-style parody of that one:
So I said, "Any booty's good booty, So I took what I could get . . . Mmm-Mmmmm-Mmmmm And then and then she looked at me with her Big Brown Eye and said, "You ain't had none of this yet!"
