    The dead of 2016

    Sad to hear of Peter Vaughan dying. 2016 has certainly overstayed its welcome. Got to meet him when I was 8 along with the rest of the cast of Citizen Smith. Enjoyed watching him in Porridge too. Oh well, he had a good innings.

    Leonard Cohen

    Not exactly unusual for a Cohen song. But I did feel the album was portentous. Indeed All seven of my regular listeners are likely to be treated to Cohen's "Leaving the Table" from that album as the last track on our List of the Lost show playing a selection of 2016 departees early in 2017. Of course, there's six weeks or so of dying time to go, so things might change Sounds fun! I like Traveling Light. Me too, but "Leaving the Table" shades it for the show because it's a perfect closing song. Indeed. Leaving the table is the perfect song to end a tribute in. Too many people choose "Hallelujah". To be honest, if I hear another version of that songs, I may just strangle someone.

    Late Breaking! Mike Peters Of The Alarm!

    He was here in Minnesota quite recently. Apparently he's doing well. BB King was playing a couple months before he died. He also had to be brought on stage by wheelchair.

    Leonard Cohen

    Focus on his lyrics rather than his voice. Some of the tribute album "I'm Your Fan" is a good example. I like The Pixies version of "I can't forget".

    Leonard Cohen

    That's ok. Leonard Cohen himself said about music he doesn't like, is that he keeps his mouth shut because he knows that people don't like his music. That's not to say that you're not entitled to your opinion, but more that Cohen was acknowledging that his music wasn't going to be liked by all and sundry. It's the same with Bob Dylan, his voice, lyrics and music style are not going to be liked by all. I used to be ridiculed at school for liking his music. Now strangely enough, one of the people that used to poke fun at me is a Nick Cave fan. I guess you could call Leonard Cohen's music "musical marmite".

    Leonard Cohen

    Leonard Cohen passes away at 82 It is with profound sorrow we report that legendary poet, songwriter and artist, Leonard Cohen has passed away. We have lost one of music’s most revered and prolific visionaries. A memorial will take place in Los Angeles at a later date. The family requests privacy during their time of grief.

    Donald J Trump

    I'm guessing a Hillary supporter isn't ready for trump to win, so they tried to prevent it. It was a non-violent, unarmed Republican, who was carrying a sign "Republicans Against Trump"

    Just spoke to his son, Robby, who understandably is distraught having lost his mum and now his dad in quick succession.

    Leonard Cohen

    Bowie certainly was a shock, but that was because he kept his illness a secret. At least with Cohen, it'll be old age that will get him.

    Oh well, at least I had him on my DDP, forgot to put him on my other lists though. Always enjoyed Dad's Army and It Ain't Half Hot Mum.

    Donald J Trump

    Still Trump is better than Hillary. Third World War will break out in any case, but Hillary would only accelerate the process. Trump may be a twat but he is not against Putin prior. Putin knows he can manipulate Trump.

    11 so far are stating he touched them inappropriately. Also Gloria Allred is now involved.

    Bob Dylan

    He knows he's won it. You're talking about someone who has built a reputation of being a cantankerous recluse.

    Phil Collins (And Other Genesis Types)

    Just saw a brief interview with him on our local news, apparently he walks with the aid of a cane, in addition to his deteriorating hearing

    Leonard Cohen

    I was worried that radio stations will play his music for 24 hours non stop, the same thing they did for Elvis and Freddy Mercury when they died.

    Message to Trump: Safety of millions are more important than your media rallies. It's not all about you!!! It's an attack by the Chinese. They need folks in Florida to buy new patio furniture.
