Denis arises to tell of his visit to a concentration camp. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-33230122

This one was semi-personal so I never thought to post here. Though 52 (next week) I played bass in a couple bands with Detroit musicians 5-15 years older than I, from bands of the same era as SRC, in particular The Sillies. So I met many of these people through those contacts. I saw Gary play a couple times in the past decade but didn't know him apart from that. Still, us Detroit-area music scene folks are a bit of a contingent, and any losses from the ranks reverberate. RIP Gary Q.SirC [Edit: Y-Dub I think we have been putting prog rock stuff here (at least I have lol) http://www.deathlist.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=3234 And SRC was straight up rock n roll despite the song linked. No danger of confusing them with prog rock I don't believe]. Thanks Sir C, sorry to hear of your community loss. The guitar work on that number is amongst the finest I've heard, couldn't resist putting it out there.

One would think a diet of bread and water would do wonders for her condition. And, sorry to be pedantic and that, but...her legal problems simply motivated her to put on weight. Nobody actually tied her down and shoved the food in. And she has been jailed. http://www.express.co.uk/news/uk/586200/Morbidly-obese-30st-driver-too-fat-for-prison-jailed-killing-jogger

Exactly the same thing happened here too, very weird. Quantick's revenge? I had it, I'm guessing they thought they'd sneak it on, gain a few more hits for their website. Although I'm thinking if I ever give up the DL and go back to having sex, I'd probably look good in nothing but a toolbelt...
