Not heard of any as yet, this is just a preparation when they occure.

Richard Leakey, who, with his parents Mary and Louis, fired my interest in all things early hominid.

I have one of his books stashed away somewhere.

Sidney Poitier     .

Ronnie Spector      . Just loved her records and what a great voice.

Peter Seabrook, gardener and broadcaster, aged 86 . An incredibly knowledgeable chap and his input and experience will be greatly missed.

Damn. An important part of why Barry Lyndon is the film it is.

Meatloaf
Aged 74

Quote from: Lord Speedy of Leighton on 21 January 2022, 08:09:39 AMMeatloaf
Aged 74

I went to Meatloaf's concert in Wellington with my now passed mate Rob (who was a real fan of his) when he came here as part of his Bat out of Hell 2 release tour. He saved "Bat out of Hell" for his final curtain call number. All I can say is that I have never seen another performer put as much heart and soul into a song as Meatloaf did that night. The TSB Arena was rockin' at the end of that performance   

Another of my favorites gone.  I think i have every album he ever made, including some stuff that was not released in Europe. 

I know what I will be playing this morning.

A sad loss indeed.

Saw him live at Donnington Park in the mid 80's, really enjoyed the show. Warning - don't put "Bat out of Hell" on a car system, instant traffic jam !

Sad.
Saw him live a couple of times - last one in Belfast in the 90s, crazy night!

Dashboard Lights, only the greatest single rock opera piece ever written and preformed.
The mold has been broken. catch ya on the flip side brother.

 

Bat out of Hell played during our Saturday night game

I remember doing an analysis of Bat out of Hell during one English Literature lesson at my evil school on the outskirts of Slough Trading Estate.
To be honest I was a bit miffed I was more punk/new wave at the time.
