My fav drummer:

A repeat but a worthy one and it gives me the excuse to post this again. An epic longer version is available if you know how to look.

After many years of struggle with MND, Joost has died

After seeing what my aunt went through with it, I'm sure it feels more of a release though.

So sad, he was one hell of a player. I remember his tackles on Lomu in the WC final, and thinking this guy can't be their scrum half, he's tackling like a forward!

Damn I liked that guy. Have a compilation somewhere on minidisc, a retrospective released I guess around 98.

Goggle tells me it was 'Anthology 68-70' released in 99. Rinsed it out at he time.

I loved the way he spoke on development and data - his talk on the washing machine has always stuck with me.

I have The Uses of Literacy (unread) on a shelf somewhere, only just realised it's not some antiquated manual of English language. May have to have a look for it, seems highly relevant to today.

No wonder I hadn't seen much reporting of his recent demise. It was April 2014.

I ought to read less late at night/with more care, clearly. Glad I discovered this though, he seems a real working class hero long before Lennon wrote that bitter song about it. Seems like quite a guy, deserved to be remembered.

Steve Hewlett of the BBC. I never particularly enjoyed the Media Show but am a PM listener and was moved by his professionalism in reporting his own demise. You can find the series of interviews from PM here:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p04p07t7

It's shocking to look at a picture of Steve because he is basically a carbon copy of my dad. Near 60, overweight, tatty fleece. To me he looks the epitome of a middle class male of retirement age. A reminder that we should never take our loved ones' health for granted.

That news took the wind out of my sails at PM o'clock yesterday. I always enjoyed the media show personally on the odd occasion that I caught it. Not a "media type" but I always enjoyed the glimpse into *that* world it provided and he was a huge advocate of the Beeb (love it or hate it).

Was last listening a week ago or so when he was talking about having just got married and hearing that his prognosis had taken a sudden turn for the worse.  Extremely saddening.  :(

Tim Piggot-Smith. Like probably most people, I first became aware of him in 'Jewel in the Crown,' in which he was just brilliant. Thereafter, he always simply really good in whatever he cropped up in. 70 seems very young.
