I recall discussions when Little Richard passed away in 2020.


Some wag expressed suspicion that the last surviving "founder of rock and roll" was the one nicknamed The Killer.
Agatha Christie would have had a field day...

Even after several decades, I am still a fan of Hawkwind

Same here - loved Hawkwind since buying their Space Ritual classic gatefold at Probe Records in Liverpool as a lad.  Saw them on their 50th anniversary tour recently (well, 2019) - they played some great old stuff, and the bass was throbbing again as in Lemmy's day...

John Cook

The old stuff, it seems to me is, on the whole, streets ahead of most of the rubbish produced these days.  Just 'coming down' from listening to Rory Gallagher so perhaps my objectivity is not what it might be :)

Ben Waterhouse

Just heard that Christopher Duffy has died.

Steve J

So sad to hear about Duffy, but a good innings and what a great legacy of books.
