George young died yesterday aged 70

Big brother of the young brothers of ac/dc fame.

In the 60s he formed the easybeats who had a big hit with friday on my mind.

Helped his brothers form ac/dc and produce all their first 5 albums (the best ones in my opinion) with his easybeats mate harry vanda.

Rip george.

There was a brilliant radio documentary on AC/DC last year, that was fascinating to listen to. Lots of stuff on him and how broad his music career was.

John Mollo RIP.

The author of numerous books on military uniforms. According to The Times on 28th Oct, Mr. Mollo died 'from the effects of vascular dementia on October 25th 2017, aged 86.' Mr. Mollo won an Oscar for costume design for the first Star Wars film. His first involvement with films was as an adviser on Tony Richardson's Charge of the Light Brigade, no wonder the uniforms looked so right.

A sad loss and I've got quite a few books of his. A great legacy he has left behind.
