Mine too. A song that never fails to lift my mood.

A testament to the brilliance of Burt Bacharach as much as Aretha.

Two American legends, Jeff Lowe yesterday and Tom Frost a few days ago - oh, and John McCain.

Charles Aznavour, composer and singer. One of the greats.

Plus Geoffrey :(

Somehow, the realisation that he actually aged beyond that young fella of my childhood; is shocking.
I realise, intellectually, how silly that is, and yet can’t quite reconcile it.

I remember being similarly struck by an interview with Lesley Judd, recently.

Me and W went to see Aznavour at the Royal Albert Hall four years ago around the time of his 90th birthday - it was reallly special.  She tells me he was on tour now in Japan aged 94.  What a life!

Carlos Ezquerra who created and drew Judge Dredd also passed away today.  I spent my junior school and some high school years bored at school waiting for Saturday morning and 2000AD to arrive through the letterbox.

I never saw Aznavour live, but when Bob Dylan – who saw him in New York in the 60s – got asked in Rolling Stones Magazine about what the best live performances he'd seen he mentioned two artists, Charles Aznavour and Howling Wolf.

Likewise. Dredd was never one of my favourite characters, but he did other brilliant things too.

Somehow this slipped by un-noticed, but the legend that was Matt “Guitar” Murphy (if you watched the Blues Brothers, you heard him play), passed this summer.

2000AD was one of my youthful obsessions.... it feels a bit prehistoric in these days of insta-gratification to remember walking to the local newsagents and hoping there was still a copy of the latest ink and paper edition.  When I got my woodie, after a 25 year hiatus, I bought some 2000A compilations to provide entertainment during sessions - reading an episode of a story provides a nice rest period between goes!  I've recently finished one of Carlos' great stories, the Apocalypse War, and have just started another, Necropolis.... his talent won't be forgotten.

Incidentally, not his work, but I liked this:

Since 1977? Wow, that takes me back. I used to devour them every Wednesday after school, loved coming home to read that at 4pm. Had the first few hundred .... binned them when we moved, didn’t seem worth packing at the time....

I used to have a copy reserved for collection at the local newsagent, was the highlight of my week.

Funny how the year 2000 seemed an eternity away in 1980.

We were talking about him hanging in there still only last month, after spotting his cameos on the Amazing Spiderman ride at Universal Studios. RIP.

Fishing legend John Wilson. Remember watching all his TV programs as a lad going out fishing with my dad.
