OSJ Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 12 minutes ago, Dolfan in NYC said: Folk singer John Prine has died due to complications due to Covid-19. He was 83. I don't have many heroes, particularly not from the entertainment industry, where phoniness is the order of the day; but John Prine has always been one of my heroes. While this wasn't unexpected (a 73 year-old cancer survivor doesn't have very good odds facing this disease); it still hurts like hell. Prine was the guy that everyone thought Bob Dylan was... Godspeed, Mr. Prine and thanks for all the music! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sydneybrown Posted May 9, 2020 Share Posted May 9, 2020 The best Grammy moment ever. Little Richard awards himself a Grammy and explains why and the crowd gives him a standing ovation for it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old news, I know, but there are very few people I wouldn't argue over Florian Schneider in this respect. Little Richard was more important to music than Florian Schneider? Yeah, OK. That's really, really saying something. RIP to both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
