OSJ 5,230 Posted April 8 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! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Curt McGirt 10,349 Posted May 22 (edited) https://www.wweek.com/music/2020/05/21/poison-idea-drummer-steven-hanford-has-died/ RIP Steve Hanford, aka Slayer Hippy, drummer for Poison Idea, Resist, etc. I saw him on the tour with The Skull that they mention and had no idea it was him behind the kit. Goddamn was Feel the Darkness an incredible album, and his chops on it were supreme. Edited May 22 by Curt McGirt Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
