Sir Creep

I’m just pointing out how correct you are, sir. Damn stubbornness and stupidity. I’d like to think it’s dying out with the WWII generation but I highly doubt it.

My uncle died about a year after diagnosis, at 68. He knew more than the doctors, so no need to go see one.

This would have been TWO hits for my Made In Detroit team had I bothered to turn it in. You’ve done your homework @alt obits guy if you’re finding links to the Metro Times.

This was posted 18 hours ago and you’re getting likes for the obvious? The post should have gotten chastised and everything relating to it ignored. This place has gone to hell in a hand basket.

Sorry to hear this news @The Immortal

One last one to make up for lost time. Classic sounding (yet obscure AF) late 1960s twangy rocker….this must be in @Phantom’s collection.

I missed a day or two so allow me to make up for that. Here’s an obscure one from the equally obscure British band, the British Walkers. I lied, they were actually not British, but from Washington DC. Oh Well. (shades of Gimmee Some Lovin which was a hit, and even early Bob Seger’s ‘Heavy Music’).

@TQR as much as I would have enjoyed hearing your post… alas…

Can’t talk about music without the sounds of New Orleans, and can’t talk about the sounds of New Orleans without mentioning the Neville family. Cyril was a member of the Meters, NOT the Neville Brothers…though he would join up with them after the Meters disbanded. This is a great 1960’s obscure song, and funkier than Fleetwood Mac’s ‘Oh Well’.

You get dropped on your head as a wean? I shouldn’t question Bibliogryphon, both his parents were musicians. One played a kazoo, the other a theremin.

@TQR well we do agree on one thing…which Kinks song is great and which is just album filler. Wait…that’s TWO things!

Indeed — @Gisooo REALLY buried the lead ffs. That’s the entire story and it wasn’t mentioned. I’ll attribute the oversight to his malfeasance/nonfeasance of never having read the obit he posted.

A man died this week after falling through a skylight while clearing the snow off a business along Tennessee State Route 100. The unnamed 66-year-old man’s 20-foot fall was broken by a concrete floor inside the business. SC

Piedad Córdoba, an outspoken Colombian lawmaker who for decades championed the rights of her fellow Afro-Colombians while undertaking huge risks as a go-between to leftist rebel groups, has died. She was 68. SC

“I don’t really know a lot about dead sons, but I’ve got a friend who is an expert, and if it’s ok with you I’m going to have him come look at this corpse and verify it’s authenticity and what kind of value it might have.”

You say Abba is not obscure? Of course it is. The song, not the band, silly. Another tune not written by Pete Green, as he wasn’t in The Paragons.

I find that the best time for me to post deaths is the 10pm-2am EST slot, because there is little competition with the U.K./Europe asleep and us having few people from the west coast for sone reason. I don’t post deaths much anymore but there it is.

You can stick a (pitch)fork in them.

The great Phil Ochs sings words of truth and sarcasm that ring as true today as they did in 1968. Obscure as any Peter Green composition.

Obscure 1960s continues, equally as obscure as any Peter Green composition, and you’ll actually like this.
