George Michael. Not a huge fan but a big influence on music when I was growing up. 2016 is doing it's best to close out by finishing off as many musicians as it can.

2016 is trying very hard to make me feel very old indeed.


All posts either sarcastic, tongue-in-cheek or mildly mocking-in-a-friendly-way unless otherwise stated. I always forget to put those smiley things...

Wham was a major thing in the Sheffield scene in the 1980's, everyone do the Chouca rap during 80's night at the Leadmill - blame Zippy for that one.

Wham Rap could have been written for the climbing scene - Hey jerk, you work, this boy's got better things to do.

I remember Zips describing everyone at the Limit chorusing that rap...sounded like an entertaining night.

It most certainly was, I can vouch for that.

Will mine go up in value now?

Great story, fulfilling niche in life.

Mary Tyler Moore

Here's Husker Du covering the theme tune from her show.

[SA Chris]

RIP, but no idea who she really was, I only know she gets mentioned in a Weezer song.

[Obi-Wan is lost...]

Yeah that's also my only cultural reference point for her name, think she was the US equivalent of Felicity Kendal.

[SA Chris]

Something like that. Only with even bigger teeth.

[Falling Down]

We used to watch her show and the other one Rhoda on TV when I was a kid. Must have been mid-70's. My parents must have liked it...

John Hurt, class act.

[Muenchener]

Caligula opposite Derek Jacobi in I Claudius - mentioned in the obituary you linked to though not in the title - was also an extremely impressive piece of work.

[lagerstarfish]

John Hurt will hopefully be joining Oliver Reed, Peter O'Toole and Richard Harris in Valhalla and getting some drinking practice in ready for when I arrive (not any time soon, but it's something to look forward to)

[mrjonathanr]

I had a pint in the Coal Hole in Covent Garden once and as it was fairly busy shared a table with Richard Harris. Not much hell raising went on, unfortunately.

That "Winston Smith" should give up the ghost at this time is irony of the most epic proportions.
