The R.I.P. thread

Lots of fond memories listening to Faithless back in the day. Was lucky enough to go to a Faithless gig (secret rave, won tickets through orange, 200 people back in the early 2000s), and got to meet both of them.

RIP

Been reminiscing about the hero of my youth, Joe Strummer.
Can’t believe it’s 20 years since he passed :cry:

RIP to the young gorgeous girl that lost her life in Wallasey on the night of Christmas Eve.

Was shocked when I heard the news Christmas morning, having only been a few miles away from the location a few hours earlier.

I’ve been listening to Joe Strummer 002, released for the anniversary. The Mescaleros years, which I’d never really delved into, despite adoring Joe/The Clash. His songwriting and especially his humanity shine through on these records. A worthy hero.

Wrestling was a big part of my childhood, and the commentary duo of Don West and Mike Tenay played a big part in my route into Wrestling (talking the good old days, not the PG stuff you see now). So very saddened by this. RIP Don West.
