Davey Jones' Locker 1,324 Posted December 23, 2014 How Joe was kicked out of Australia: "Joe Cocker and his drugged-up group would be airlifted straight back across the Pacific. I'd make sure their passports are marked 'Never to return'. We don't want this type here. Cocker is yet another one of those uncouth, dirty-haired, sloppily-dressed show business freaks. Another assembly-line instant pop star who because of overnight fame and pure disregard for what normal people regard as decent behaviour has decided that Australia is the sort of outpost where he can indulge in his filthy habits. Get out, Cocker, and don't come back." http://www.smh.com.au/entertainment/music/mad-dog-musician-joe-cocker-matured-well-20141223-12cr6q.html Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BrunoBrimley 86 Posted December 24, 2014 Better late than never I suppose...... I was actually surprised, not by the death, after all, I sort of figured one day he might die, after all, many if not all people (and animals and plants as well as stars) do die eventually. No, it was more of learning how surprisingly older than I thought he was that it turned out he was. I won't say I was the biggest fan of his music, much of it didn't fully intrigue me or even register on the appeal meter, however he was a music icon and loved by many and for that I realize the music world....both performers and listeners, have lost someone that means/meant, a great deal to them. May he rest in eternal peace. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
