Re: The Dead Musicians thread
from what I heard Ronnie had an album ready to go with Ronettes and Phil Spector but they had a bad break up so Spector never released it but that opened things up for the Supremes and the rest is history

Another shit day in the music world...
Andy Fletcher, 60 from Depeche Mode. This one stings a bit. One of the first concerts I saw as a young teen was Depeche Mode in 1982. Stuck with them ever since- 40 fucking years!!
Also today, Alan White, drummer for YES. Also played with John Lennon and George Harrison.

Re: The Dead Musicians thread
Anybody read the David Berman feature in CREEM that was just posted? All about his last days leading up to his death. An incredible, ungodly shame.

Jeff Beck. I shouldn't be surprised, but I am
Re: The Dead Musicians thread
The way he died was surprisng...sudden contraction of bacterial meningitis. On the plus side, at least he wasn't suffering with a long, painful illness.
Incredible career that's for sure. He's played with so many different people from Stevie Wonder to Kate Bush, to name a couple.
RIP and thank you for the music.

Re: The Dead Musicians thread
I enjoyed that! I think VR captured JB's essence in this piece. Explained his unique and masterful style really well. I like that JB never attached to one single style or genre of music.SR wrote: ↑Sat Jan 14, 2023 6:12 pmVernon's thoughts on JBArtemis wrote: ↑Wed Jan 11, 2023 5:50 pmThe way he died was surprisng...sudden contraction of bacterial meningitis.

Re: The Dead Musicians thread
R.I.P. Gordon Lightfoot ... one of the best singer/song writers. The soundtrack of the my 70s childhood...
Sadly, never saw him in concert.
One of the newspaper articles I read about GL's death mentioned that Jane's Addiction was one of the many artists who covered his songs. Which song??

Nice tribute...Once called a “rare talent” by Bob Dylan, dozens of artists have covered Lightfoot’s work, including Elvis Presley, Barbra Streisand, Harry Belafonte, Johnny Cash, Anne Murray, Jane’s Addiction and Sarah McLachlan.
Re: The Dead Musicians thread
This claim is so absurd that I went down a rabbithole trying to figure out where it originated. I've tracked it back at least 20 years to this archived CNN article that is just copy from Reuters: http://edition.cnn.com/2003/SHOWBIZ/Mus ... foot.reut/
It sounds like generic press release copy, or something taken from Wikipedia and not fact-checked.
As far as I can figure, the claim is false.
... Okay, even further back now: https://gordonlightfoot.com/DirtyLinenReview.html (1999?)
I'm going to get to the bottom of this.
Here's a crazy article on the original album art for the first P4P album: https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm ... story.html
Re: The Dead Musicians thread
I think the claim is false too. As you mentioned, no fact-checking. I searched like crazy to figure out which song JA covered, but didn't come up with anything. I thought that if JA had done a cover, there might have been an Instagram RIP post or something, but nothing there either. My conclusion is that whoever wrote the piece confused Gordon Lightfoot with the Grateful Dead.Hype wrote: ↑Wed May 03, 2023 8:32 amThis claim is so absurd that I went down a rabbithole trying to figure out where it originated.
