I didn't love their beer but it is another sad sign of the times in craft beer.

RIP Stone Roses bassist Gary 'Mani' Mounfield.  I did love me some SR in the 90s.  They an amazing fusion of madchester, shoegaze and post acid house weirdness.

 

Maybe the biggest one album wonders ever? Debut is just an absolute, genre-defining classic. Then money, drugs etc. "Love Spreads" is a great song off #2 but the rest of it ...

RIP to two people: Jimmy Cliff, and Udo Kier. 

Without knowing Udo so well, I realize I have admired his work in several horror or other movies....

And Jimmy Cliff....not much needs saying....another big one lost IMO

Jimmy Cliff was an absolute legend.  I saw The Harder They Come on VHS in the 1980s when I was entirely too young for such things.  It left a lasting impact on me.

Been in the Seattle - Museum of Pop Culture (MOPOP) - many times - always enjoyed the building as much as the collections.

Just watched Spinal Tap II last night and was disappointed. But I didn't do it. ☹️

Was just reading that in the news. Pretty crazy, apparently someone disliked it way more than you. 

RIP Marty DiBergi...

Man. So many classics of his it is hard to pick a favorite. Probably Harry and Sally, but Stand by Me also right there for me.

I'm gonna go with the The Princess Bride.  Saw in theaters in '86 and have watched it periodically throughout the decades.  Andre the Giant said he was happiest on the set of that film.  It was the one time he felt normal.

As a metalhead I'm gonna say This Is Spinal Tab... May he and his wife rest in peace.

They were stabbed to death in their residance. WTF?!

"According to multiple sources, the couple were killed by their son Nick, and their bodies were discovered by their daughter Romy. "

Oh, man, that's fucked up.  Two someones are going to need a lot of therapy...I wish them both eventual peace.

something something not oedipus something something

RIP the two servicemembers and one civilian in the attack in Syria the other day.

(pours one out)

R.I.P. Meathead. He sure brought joy to my life.

So sad about the Reiners.....  What a legacy Rob is leaving....

RIP as well to the victims at Brown University and in Bondi Australia.  

I think we need aliens to come and spray the earth with "let's get along" mist.  This is a fucking crazy world.....
