2016 deaths and climbing

[Sandinista]

Sad as all these deaths are, can someone who has only touched my life with great music, art, literature or whatever be truly said to be dead, when they still stir my emotions each time I hear or see what touched me in the fist place?

I suppose not, Ian.

Nope, they're dead. Perfectly natural state of being.

[FierceKitty]

What music touches you in "the fist place"? Simon and Garfunkel's The Boxer?

[Sandinista]

Perhaps I divulged too much information there   

Cheers

Awwww......No ! 

One of only two groups that I've seen more than once ! (Saw the 'original' Quo in the 70's...They were awesome.....And VERY loud.)
What a totally cruddy year for losing so many of my 'heroes'.

Having just got through an ELP week, plus, since the death of Greg Lake.......I wonder what I'll be listening to next week.

Cheers - Phil

That is sad news ... I attribute my sore neck to all that 'head bangin' so many years ago. They were a group that stood out just for being nice guys a much as for their 'happy' style music ... they even got mums rockin'

If I suffer a major health breakdown, will everyone please refrain from praying for me? I don't mind if enemies want to pray for my demise.
