Very true.

Ike wrote what is regarded as the first ever rock and roll song, Rocket 88, in 1951!  :o

I think we may have missed (certainly I don't remember seeing anything here about it) the sad death of producer Colin Thurston last year.

He produced such 80s strandards as Duran Duran's Rio, Kajagoogoo's White Feathers and the first two Human League albums. (OK, the first one was 79)

He also produced Lust For Life by Sir Igbert Pop.  O0

RIP Colin.

Paul Newman has died at the age of 83,

BBC News

He had a good run though, I hope I make it to at least 83.

That's sad, one of the real old school comedy greats. On the Buses was a regular on TV when I was young.
