Joey Russ 7,282 Posted May 27, 2017 Last time on Last Word: Brendan Duddy, Nina Lowry, Roger Ailes, Osmund Reynolds, Roger Moore And since Gregg Allman has just died, I don't think Chris Cornell will be making an appearance on Last Word... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Joey Russ 7,282 Posted June 2, 2017 This week on Last Word: John Noakes, Manuel Noriega, Pat Stewart, Wing Commander Rex Sanders, and Gregg Allman. Totally predictable week. Also my 3000th post. I really need to get a life... 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Joey Russ 7,282 Posted June 13, 2017 Adam West definitely for next week. Besides that, I don't know. Errol Christie maybe, or some more obscure celebrity that no one besides the BBC has heard of before. Who knows... Maybe Chris Cornell from the archives...

Joey Russ 7,282 Posted June 23, 2017 The question we're all wondering is this: who will make an appearance on this weeks episode of Last Word? Helmut Kohl, Anita Pallenberg, Professor Brian Bellhouse, Naseem Khan, and Brian Cant. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

maryportfuncity 10,708 Posted July 1, 2017 So, how much of a biggie would you have to be to dislodge Barry Norman as prime pick for next week? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
YoungWillz 21,284 Posted July 7, 2017 Barry Norman, Gordon Wilson, Geri Allen, John Thompson, Jack O'Neill. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I guess he (and 2 Live Crew) were more popular overseas, where they are from (Florida). I tend to hear 2 Live Crew songs play a lot here at clubs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ground-breakingly important as the first major Asian-American rapper, plus 2 Live Crew's role in censorship wars in the US. And he discovered Flo Rida!

And he discovered Flo Rida! I'd say First Asian-Am Rapper? So what? Censorship Wars in US? Unimportant to UK. Discovered Flo Rida? The guy who signed Sly And The Family Stone died recently and got no coverage. But hey, it's The Last Word...if they cover him, they cover him. Prodigy got a Times Obit with little to nothing success wise in the UK. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Spade_Cooley 9,641 Posted July 15, 2017 Plus, by your logic YW, priority should be given when a member of Da Muttz dies (one single that reached #11, the majestic "Wassuup!" in 2001) over a member of the Velvet Underground (only UK top 75 hit stalled at #71).

My point is not to denigrate your well made points. My point is that the British media seems to have a high bar when reporting UK deaths but a pretty low one when it comes to American personalities, especially particular forms of music. Hey, I guess it is easy from a distance to appreciate the talents of someone, especially in the US where the papers praise and laud their own to the high heavens. Much more difficult to appreciate the talents of someone in the UK the press build up and then try to dig the dirt on for the rest of their career. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
YoungWillz 21,284 Posted July 15, 2017 Plus, the relative merits or otherwise of UK one-hit wonders is neither here nor there. Who is to say Joe Dolce obits but members of Fiction Factory don't? The latter won't, by the way, and they are British. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Great song, btw. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
