The RIP thread
Titus Pullo down. Ray Stevenson dead at 58.
Tina Turner. Simply the Dead.
Legend. RIP. Proud Mary is an absolute tune.
Genuine icon.
Tina that is.
Will pop on We Don’t Need Another Hero.
Smallman1 Or Steamy Windows
Was watching a concert of hers from a few years back. She was like 80 or something and I put it on on a whim and for a bit of a laugh as was expecting some croaking grandma….she was belting out Proud Mary, Steamy Windows etc like an absolute fucking Trojan. Magnificent performer. I was like a bed post. Slag.
Dirty . Dead. Talented. Slag.
A string of great pop records but River Deep is something else. One of the great vocal performances and arguably Phil Spector’s greatest production. RIP
I actually quite like Private Dancer. Turner has grown on me over the years. Big fan of all things Motown but always considered her almost dad rock ish due to her universal appeal. But she was an immense stage presence and top performer.
She’s what? 70-odd here?
impressive
A real “that guy who’s name you don’t know in a movie, but recognize the face” Treat Williams dead at 71 due to a motorcycle-accident. Pretty badass way to go at that age. Or stupid
Disney+ has Deep Rising if you want to watch a really fun bad movie he was in.
It is but I felt it had really dated in the latest revisit about a year ago.
Gabrielle Anwar is still an absolute sort at 53.
Gabrielle Anphwoar more like
Cormac McCarthy. I’ve still not read Blood Meridian.
Noooo! Easily my favourite writer. His books were incredibly vivid. Reading a paragraph felt like an entire chapter. RIP
