The Next Piper At The Gates Of Heaven

[Weebl 216]

 

 

 

I'm reporting Greg Lake's death (King Crimson; ELP) where it belongs. And will continue to do so ad infinitum.

Huge RIP to a fantastic voice and prof rocker extraordinaire. Carl Palmer is all that's left of ELP but the destruction that is 2016 isn't over. Could they all go inthe same calendar year??

Jesus, I hadn't heard this until I saw it on Wikipedia.

 

This has been a bad day for me. First John Glenn, now Greg Lake.

 

 

It's been a bad year!

 

 

 

Tell me about it

 

So, wtihout boring you too much - I spend most of one year compiling the opening radio show for the new on and that show is our "List of the Lost" wherein we feature those who died the previous year.

 

Let's just say the revisions on the running order as we put the script together have been taxing and we've already negotiated a longer show than is usually scheduled.

 

Next prob - is ELP a fitting tribute to E and L or do we throw in Greg in his King Crimson pomp instead (which I'm up for doing by way of playing Cadence and Cascade)

 

 

Gordon Haskell does the vocals on Cadence and Cascade, not Greg Lake.

Why do I get the feel Shawty Lo will get short (shawt?) shrift from your playlist?

Oh, right - shame, I love that song; Haskell's not likely to cark it soon is he?

 

Oh aye, and we'll mebbe play "I Talk to the Wind"

It's a nice song. I have absolutely no idea whether Haskell is likely to die soon or not.

Are King Crimson the only band where two separate members have gone on to have Christmas #2 singles then? "I Believe In Father Christmas" and, of course, "How Wonderful You Are" by Gordon Haskell in 2001.

[charon 4,943]

I mind Lennon and Diana Ross were kept off the top spot.

Memory fades re other Beatles or Supremes.

Right now moved into Irish no 1 & 2s at crimbo.

 

Father Ted was no 1 in 85 with a pisstake on McGuigan.

 

Didn't know that....

[Spade_Cooley 9,523]

With the video also featuring the guy who played Father Stone as well.

Lol.

Well, going on the evidence that followed your post...yes

 

Not only that but their records never did make the top - some of the other #2 songs were on the way down at Christmas

Happy Birthday Julian Cope. 60 today!

Despite the drugs and hard living he's put in the man's summat of an intellectual underneath all that

 

Not one of ours for years yet
