blessingx Posted November 3, 2023 Report Share Posted November 3, 2023 RIP David Kirke, the world’s first modern bungee jumper, piano skier, and early Dangerous Sports Club member. https://people.com/david-kirke-the-worlds-first-bungee-jumper-dead-at-78-8383202 'David Kirke’s old chums found the peaceful circumstances of his death last month — in bed, at age 78 — paradoxical. “He could have been killed at least 20 or 30 times many years ago,” his friend Edward Hulton said. For instance, on April Fools’ Day in 1979, when Mr. Kirke put on a tuxedo, attached himself to elastic ropes, and stepped off a bridge in England clutching a bottle of Champagne in the world’s first bungee jump (https://www.bbc.com/news/av/uk-england-29819029) Or the time he flew over the English Channel standing in the pouch of a giant inflatable kangaroo held aloft by helium balloons. Mr. Kirke was the founder of the Dangerous Sports Club, a group of University of Oxford students who, typically while not sober, hatched deranged stunts in English pubs during the 1970s and ’80s, often as a metaphorical middle finger to Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher’s society of squares. “Most people think we are mad,” Mr. Kirke once said. “We think they're mad to endure such humdrum lives.” Decades before extreme sports such as bungee jumping, kiteboarding and wingsuit flying became mainstream, Mr. Kirke and his coterie of foolhardy mates were skiing down Swiss slopes on grand pianos, skateboarding (not running) with the bulls in Pamplona, and flying makeshift microlight gliders across imprudent distances.' 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Voltron Posted November 26, 2023 Report Share Posted November 26, 2023 Marty Krofft was married to a Playboy playmate? RIP to the baller. I watched Pufnstuf, Bugaloos and Sigmund but I was really into Land of the Lost the most. Those slow moving Sleestacks were very scary! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blessingx Posted November 26, 2023 Report Share Posted November 26, 2023 (edited) Lost was my biggie and watched both versions of Sigmund, but Lidsville was my introduction to drugs. Edited November 26, 2023 by blessingx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skullguise Posted November 27, 2023 Report Share Posted November 27, 2023 RIP to Marty and Larry (the latter I knew nothing about, so thanks for posting all the links jpelg). Sad one for me, and many fans of Killing Joke: RIP to Geordie Walker, long-time guitarist for the band, and core member for all their incarnations. https://www.stereogum.com/2243715/killing-joke-guitarist-geordie-walker-dead-at-64/news/ He/they made some awesome and powerful music into their 60's....IMO never lost anything from their early days.... 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dusty Chalk Posted November 27, 2023 Report Share Posted November 27, 2023 Aw, man, what a seminal sound. I still want an ES-295. That was always one of the things that turned me off about the common wisdom of hollowbody guitars -- he taught people that it wasn't just for jazz. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pars Posted November 28, 2023 Report Share Posted November 28, 2023 Mars Williams, sax player for the Psychedelic Furs. I always kinda liked the Furs and one band that sax added to their sound. Fuck cancer. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
