skullguise Posted December 31, 2022 Report Posted December 31, 2022 Holy fuck, 2022 is ending with an ugly bang.... RIP to several icons!
TMoney Posted January 3, 2023 Report Posted January 3, 2023 Oh no. Not Ken! https://www.tmz.com/2023/01/02/rally-car-driver-ken-block-dead/ 10
Craig Sawyers Posted January 3, 2023 Report Posted January 3, 2023 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. 3
HemiSam Posted January 3, 2023 Report Posted January 3, 2023 That’s a big loss for his many fans as well as his people. Godspeed, Ken… HS
blessingx Posted January 8, 2023 Report Posted January 8, 2023 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 7
Grahame Posted January 11, 2023 Report Posted January 11, 2023 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 6
Voltron Posted January 11, 2023 Report Posted January 11, 2023 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 1 5
robm321 Posted January 11, 2023 Report Posted January 11, 2023 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. 1
skullguise Posted January 11, 2023 Report Posted January 11, 2023 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..... 2
Grahame Posted January 12, 2023 Report Posted January 12, 2023 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.
jpelg Posted January 12, 2023 Report Posted January 12, 2023 Tatjana Patitz, One of the Original Supermodels, Has Died 6
swt61 Posted January 12, 2023 Report Posted January 12, 2023 RIP Jeff Beck. Almost as good on the axe as myself.
skullguise Posted January 12, 2023 Report Posted January 12, 2023 I remembered Tatjana's name, but knew little about her. Stunning woman.....and fuck cancer!
swt61 Posted January 13, 2023 Report Posted January 13, 2023 I'm not familiar with her, but may she RIP. I'm old enough to remember the first Super Model... Cheryl Tiegs 2
skullguise Posted January 13, 2023 Report Posted January 13, 2023 ^^ 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. 2
robm321 Posted January 13, 2023 Report Posted January 13, 2023 ^^ Cheryl Ladd beat Farrah and Tiegs for my wall poster. 3
jpelg Posted January 13, 2023 Report Posted January 13, 2023 (edited) 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, 2023 by jpelg 6
Craig Sawyers Posted January 13, 2023 Report Posted January 13, 2023 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. 5
Torpedo Posted January 16, 2023 Report Posted January 16, 2023 RIP Gina Lollobrigida. She died today at 95. One of the very few icons from the golden era of cinema that were left. 7
Craig Sawyers Posted January 20, 2023 Report Posted January 20, 2023 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. 2
skullguise Posted January 26, 2023 Report Posted January 26, 2023 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/ 8
