Handrejka 1,903 Posted April 8, 2013 Tom Lehrer (satirical singer and likely to appeal to some hereabouts), was celebrated on Radio Four this morning on the occasion of his 85th birthday. Recently interviewed and he sounded in fine form. Thought I'd share it with the group anyway. I love Tom Lehrer, hope he'll be around for a while. I reckon he would fit in well here too, according to the imdb he has been been erroneously reported as being dead so many times that he keeps a scrapbook of articles mentioning him as "the late Tom Lehrer Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Spade_Cooley 9,515 Posted April 14, 2013 Deftones bassist Chi Cheng has died aged 42. Seems a bit of a bummer to spend four years in a coma, finally exit it and then die the following year, but there you go. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
harrymcnallysblueandwhitearmy 1,684 Posted April 18, 2013 Cult powerpop bands Game Theory/Loud Family frontman/songwriter Scott Miller, 53. Edit - bassist for 60s Texan psych-rockers The Bubble Puppy, Roy Cox, died a couple of weeks back. Doubt it was mentioned here, but I'm too lazy to check, too lazy to stick it in the Piper thread and actually just too damn lazy to provide a link. You'll just have to take my word.

Ra Ra Rasputin 99 Posted April 23, 2013 By the way. Is there a Woodstock topic? If not, should't we open one? Had the same thought myself earlier. There's quite a nice (albeit outdated) site re the performers here (http://thewvsr.com/t...ck-death-count/). However, there's a huge part of me that doesn't want personal favourites such as Joan Baez and Grace Slick to die any time soon. Also, I'm sure most of the Woodstock crowd are catered for by the Old Folkies, Dead Pop Stars, etc threads. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Toast 16,131 Posted April 23, 2013 By the way. Is there a Woodstock topic? If not, should't we open one? Why? Who would need to be in a Woodstock thread who isn't catered for by Dead Pop Stars, Old Folkies Home, the blues thread, the country thread etc. There's more than enough doubling up on here as it is. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

harrymcnallysblueandwhitearmy 1,684 Posted May 2, 2013 Songwriter George Jackson dead at 68 http://www.washingtonpost.com/entertainment/music/prolific-rock-and-soul-songwriter-george-jackson-dies-at-68-wrote-old-time-rock-and-roll/2013/04/14/9f0049c4-a55f-11e2-9e1c-bb0fb0c2edd9_story.html George was a great singer too, no excuses needed for posting one of his finest. Which brings me to recently-deceased MFSB/Salsoul sessionman legend Vincent Montana Jr. Who played on seemingly about half the great soul/disco records ever made, including this, which was no doubt burnt at the stake in Comiskey Park in 1979. Deluded fools. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tjqA0BvsWGA Yes, I know no-one gives a fig except me and possibly Dave to the Grave, but that's the beauty of forums, innit.

Spade_Cooley 9,515 Posted May 7, 2013 DJ Peter Rauhofer, whose name I only know because I have one of his mixes on my iPod, has a brain tumor, which has "been undiagnosed for quite some time." Dead. Didn't realise he was the guy who did the club mix of Cher's "Believe" that we all enjoyed so much at the turn of the millennium. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
