Aw shit, just read that Jim Brown just passed.
I mentioned it the other day in the film thread that after watching One Night in Miami it was a bit weird to think he was the only main character still alive to see it and comment on its accuracy.

My favourite band. I met my now wife on a Smiths fan group on Myspace 17 years ago.
Rourke was a massively underrated bassist, even amongst diehard fans, with Morrissey and Marr taking all the plaudits, but there were four people in The Smiths and they all brought something spectacular to the table.

I’ve been watching an old concert by Cream’s Jack Bruce on German TV.
I noticed that his lyricist Pete Brown was participating. It turns out that he actually died yesterday:

Nothing yet for Martin Amis?
RIP. Regardless of what you think of him personally, the world would be richer if we had more who could write like him. Perhaps if we celebrated outstanding writers more rather than mediocre actors or singers that would be a start.

Not so sure as RIP but more good riddance.
Having said that, he was the one conviction in the Yewtree operation that really surprised me.

this is saddening, my childhood was laced with her music. Getting to stay up late at 10yo to watch the Grammy Awards, Tina was front and centre at the time. She was epic in Thunderdome, a consummate professional artist despite the spousal abuse during her early years. Her music is a classic of her generation. Timeless

A true great, may she rest in peace. I remember Simply the Best for one wrong reason among the million right ones - when Man United celebrated their title in 2009, they played that song at Old Trafford. Rarely have I felt that jealous because it’s a perfect song and it’s sung by a wonderful, wonderful lady.

She was the sort of star who other stars were star struck by.

Tina Turner was such a musical pioneer with her powerful, unique style and stage presence. Her life story of triumph over adversity was an inspiration to millions of people.
Her impact will be felt for generations to come in the music industry and beyond.
RIP Tina Turner. Queen of Rock and Soul.
