Sir Creep 7,070 Posted January 3, 2019 3 hours ago, time said: I admit it was a song I only remembered after reading The Captain's obit. Horrified to discover America also released it as a single. Every bit as terrible as you'd imagine. Us Americans allowed these two talent-less schmucks to have a TELEVISION variety show! Lasted two seasons or so. Dragon had zero and I mean ZERO personality so how this was supposed to work I don't recall (I was 13 maybe). Sonny & Cher it was NOT. SC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Truly the worst name of a band ever. Like anything that involves two or more people, there had to be one person suggest something and the other(s) agree it's a great idea. Boggles the mind.

Sir Creep 7,070 Posted January 5, 2019 "Other music that isn't pop music other than as per local culture and isn't rock or jazz or jamaican or new wave or prog or metal" thread. Music fans are in mourning on Saturday after news broke that musician and producer Dan Tshanda passed away in Johannesburg after suffering heart failure at age 54. He was reportedly certified dead on arrival at Sandton Mediclinic after suffering a heart attack. News sites from African countries, particularly Zimbabwe and Botswana, where he was very popular, have also been reporting the news.

Toast 16,140 Posted January 11, 2019 51 minutes ago, charon said: And the doctor getting sued for $12M by the widow says "prove he would've earned it". "She wants $12 million, which she says represents the money Frey would have earned if he had lived past the age of 67." So he himself was worth nothing to her, only the money he brought in. That doesn't shock me, but making it so blatantly clear does. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
