RIP.

I'm in Port Mac at the moment and the word around town is that he topped himself, after his long battle with mental health. Sad.

RIP Jim Seals (....and Crofts), country-rock pre the Eagles.

Best known for the ‘Summer Breeze’ cover, but ‘Diamond Girl’ May have lasted better.

by skully Fri 10 Jun 2022, 12:59

I hated "Summer Breeze".

Mainly because of the cover done by a poxy Aus "soul" (read arsehole) group called Stylus (headed by Peter Cupples), played relentlessly on Countdown in the mid 70s.

Pus on a stick.

Great song by the Isley Brothers, originally.

RIP Tommy Dysart. He was the actor who made the Goggomobile ("Not the Dart") famous in the Yellow pages ad in the 80s, here in Aus.

He was 86.

Gee Oh Gee Gee Oh ...

by Fred Nerk Fri 17 Jun 2022, 07:44

Not 'Oh'. Not 'Or' either. Something between the two. Like many Scottish (or Yorkshire) vowels, there is no accurate written representation - in other words, that noise is literally unspellable.

Also: the last syllable of a US city, starts with W, Bonking Bill Clinton's home town, Jimmy Webb wrote a song about a local telephone tekko.....exposes the limits of written English in the same way

RIP Carol Raye (Mavis Bramston, No 96), age 99, a week after getting 'gonged' in the QB Hons

RIP to a great Aussie actress.

... not dead, AFAIK, but I've just learned that Zaheer Abbas was admitted to an ICU in London 5-6 days ago with COVID complicated by renal failure and pneumonia. With his underlying insulin-dependent diabetes (from my recollection), that's a hard road to recovery. Get well ZA.

RIP Neil Kerley

Former Japan PM Shinzo Abe shot and in heart failure. Apparently* no vital signs so not good for him.
