RIP long time ABC broadcaster and lately of 2GB, the legendary David "Thirsty" Morrow.

He passed away today at just 71 after a short battle with brain cancer.

A great Rugby League commentator.

RIP Ray Reardon, Eddie Charlton's long-time rival on 'Pot Black' in the 70s, aged 91

by lardbucket Sun 21 Jul 2024, 02:16

Watched many episodes of that show with him, Eddie, Spencer, White, others I’ve forgotten.

by skully Sun 21 Jul 2024, 04:15

Yeah, I grew up watching Pot Black on Friday nights on ABC. RIP Ray.

RIP Jerry Miller, aged 81

by lardbucket Mon 22 Jul 2024, 12:19

Sad. A musician whose whole career was blighted by the avarice of one man, the notorious Matthew Katz, who died entirely unlamented last year. The Moby Grape story is a tragedy to rival the Badfinger story.

RIP Abdul 'Duke' Fakir, aged 88, the last surviving original Four Top.

RIP John Mayall, aged 90, legendary blues keyboardist and harmonica player, recognised as the 'founder of British Blues', mentor to many including Clapton and the original Fleetwood Mac, the 'John' whose name Elton adopted, still touring as recently as two years ago. One of the all-time greats but barely recognised outside 'the biz' - a fact which never sat well with him.

by lardbucket Wed 24 Jul 2024, 05:09

That hits hard. I saw him perform a few times at Bluesfest and still have my battered vinyl copy of the Beano album.

A great blues man and mentor to many - McVie, Green, Taylor, Clapton, and Flint come to mind first.

Correction: Elton John named himself in honour of Long John Baldry.

by WideWally Wed 24 Jul 2024, 06:00

RIP John

It's going to be one of those nights where I stay at home & play his music in tribute!

yep

I think Elton may have been the surname of another early band mate. His middle name, Hercules, is also adopted …

He must be advanced in years too. They’re all old; who would have thought in 1970 that Clapton and Keith Richard would be amongst the most tenacious survivors?

by Fred Nerk Wed 24 Jul 2024, 07:34

'Elton' was LJB's bass player, Elton Dean. (Hercules was a TV cartoon character). EJ was born in 1947 I believe so is 77 some time this year.
