January 3, 20233 yr Bloody hell. Block! He did a section on Top Gear a few years ago, showing what you could do with one of his more outrageous cars. But to go from a snowmobile accident is in the same ironical class as Yuri Gagarin dying in a plane crash (aged 34). RIP Ken Block. Driving legend.
January 8, 20233 yr RIP Hale Zukas, disability rights activist. He referred to people without disabilities as “temporarily able-bodied people”. https://www.theguardian.com/society/2023/jan/08/disability-rights-warrior-hale-zukas-life
January 11, 20233 yr R.I.P. Jeff Beck BBC News - Jeff Beck: British guitar legend dies aged 78 https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-64228780 https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/jeff-beck-dead-at-78-obit-1234659559/ https://www.nytimes.com/2023/01/11/arts/music/jeff-beck-dead.html
January 11, 20233 yr Jeff Beck dead at 78. RIP to the legend. And fuck bacterial meningitis! Yuck. My next oldest brother had a couple JB records I borrowed a lot before he went to college and then JB had a hot record There And Back with Jan Hammer when I was a senior in high school. I stupidly lost my paper ticket to see him on that tour and ended up seeing AC/DC the same night. That was fun and all, but my two buddies who saw JB constantly rubbed it in that it was the most amazing concert they ever saw, Yada Yada Yada. I finally saw JB live with JP# in Oakland and it was great even though not the same as 1980 would have been. We got very high and required large burgers in a sketchy neighborhood to sober up enough to drive home. Rock in Peace JB
January 11, 20233 yr Oh my. Jeff Beck is a true legend of the guitar and I believe the first to release a solo guitar album. The older I get the more I appreciate his style.
January 11, 20233 yr Oh, man, another legend gone.... I remember constantly borrowing my brother's "Wired" and "Live With The Jan Hammer Group" albums back in the day. Fuck.....
January 12, 20233 yr So Long Jeff, I never got to see him live, but I did go to Ronnie Scott's in the 80's and got hear all of the six jokes referenced here. This gig definitely goes to 11.
January 12, 20233 yr I remembered Tatjana's name, but knew little about her. Stunning woman.....and fuck cancer!
January 13, 20233 yr I'm not familiar with her, but may she RIP. I'm old enough to remember the first Super Model... Cheryl Tiegs
January 13, 20233 yr ^^ Cheryl narrowly beat out Farrah for the poster on my wall (other than music-related). She had a kind of natural beauty I always loved.
January 13, 20233 yr Lisa Marie Presley, daughter of Elvis Presley, dead at 54 This is crazy. She was just at the Golden Globe Awards ceremony on Sunday. Edited January 13, 20233 yr by jpelg
January 13, 20233 yr Sudden cardiac arrest is a complete bitch - it can take a fit looking individual out in short order with no warning. Happened to the Principal Investigator, George Fraser, for the space mission I was involved with. Slim, fit, almost a non-drinker. Killed him at home aged 58. Almost ten years ago https://le.ac.uk/bepicolombo/meet-the-team/professor-george-fraser RIP Lisa Marie. Like George, far far too early.
January 16, 20233 yr RIP Gina Lollobrigida. She died today at 95. One of the very few icons from the golden era of cinema that were left.
January 20, 20233 yr Oh crap. Another legend. Saw him and Graham Nash in Birmingham (UK) some years ago At one stage Nash said to Crosby "Play nicely, or you'll have to play with Neil and then you'll go deaf!" Actually Neil Young was second choice. They approached Steve Winwood - but he turned them down because of recording and gig commitments. So the band was almost Crosby, Stills, Nash and Winwood, RIP David Crosby.
January 26, 20233 yr RIP to Lloyd Morrisett, co=creator of Sesame Street https://toughpigs.com/rip-lloyd-morrisett/ And RIP to Lance Kerwin, child/adult actor. He was also selling timeshares in Hawaii at one point, my wife and I met him on our honeymoon. Very nice guy....only 62..... https://variety.com/2023/tv/obituaries-people-news/lance-kerwin-james-at-15-1235502420/
