How do you bury a Vulcan ?
Sad :(
How do you bury a Vulcan ?
Sad :(
You don't bury a Vulcan... you shoot his coffin into the orbit of an evolving planet that's growing thanks to The Genesis Device, so it lands safe and sound in some garden or other (after implanting Dr McCoy with Spocks soul or essence or something...) so that he can grow again and be re-implanted with that same stuff when he returns in the next sequel and a great many others afterwards...
I thought everyone knew that?
:D
Of course every one knows that.

Blues legend B.B. King dies at age 89 in Las Vegas...
www.cnn.com/2015/05/15/entertainment/bb-king-deadCached
May 14, 2015 · The legendary guitarist known as B.B. King, whose velvety voice and staccato picking style brought blues from the margins to the mainstream, has died.
Does it have to be just famous people?

Les Munro - The last of the dambusters
the best two Nightmare On Elm Street flicks (the first and the third)
I'm sad about Wes Craven's death...i still remember the shock i had when i watched in the late 80's "A nightmare on Elm Street"...powerful, creepy stuff...this film is still one of my favourite horror movies ever.
I watched on dvd last month "The Serpent and the rainbow", one of Craven's very best movies, ambitious eerie and creepy..."Scream" was also great on the big screen (saw it in theaters, back in summer 1997)..."Last house on the left", powerful nasty stuff...even Craven's most minor works like "Red eye", the "Scream" sequels, "Shocker", 'Deadly Friend", "My soul to take", "Cursed"","People under the stairs" were enjoyable...and the man, according to all the people he met, was a true gentleman.
RIP Wes and thanks for all your thrilling works :'(the best two Nightmare On Elm Street flicks (the first and the third)
He directed the first and the last (7th part called "New Nightmare")...the 3rd was written by Craven but directed by Chuck Russell (who later directed "the blob" and "the mask") ;)

Enough is enough !!
Helmut Schmidt died some hours agoProbably the last decent politician here in Germany - if there even IS such a thing.
German chancellor 1974 - 1982
96 years (he loved his ciggies `til summer, the only one allowed on tv `til now)
He preferred direct speach, not this one hour talks without saying anything real most of the ones beeing in a top position later

Murder is murder, end of. And if you murder someone, you belong in Hell.
Truly sad. And the alleged 'fact' that the killer shouted 'Britain First'..?
I'm dreading the newspapers tomorrow when this awful event might get twisted into something that can be used in this already shameful EU debate... >:(
.....And a knife...
A murder by shooting is one thing.... A murder by stabbing is one thing... both?
Shall we discuss this in the morning?

As you wish.
According to the news he gave his name as "Death to traitors, freedom for Britain" before the magistrates.While i get your sentiments, I struggle from my experience of mental health, that it is ever 100% fixed. I dont wish to diminish anyone who is unwell, but the care they receive is shocking. Treatment can be refused which leaves sectioning, which beleive it or not, is so far down the line its untrue, and tablets are unused because people feel better and so slide back into illness. Obviously I dont know everything about this case, but Ill put money it will have some bearing. Not an excuse but a cause and a sad indictment that happens too often.
While it sounds like he may have had some psychological isues in the past, doctors have concluded that he is fit to stand trial.
So, sadly this was a premeditated hate crime by a far right supporter. It will be hard not to politisize the politically motivated murder of a politician. At the very least, this is a very sad reminder of the radicalized society that we live in these days. What can we do to fix this?

For my money, it seems to be proof that if the media drum up immense hysteria and potential hatred for their own various ends, some weak minded and potentially violent fuckwit with soak it up and do something terrible.

I agree to an extent. It's not just the media though. You are probably familiar with this quote from Britain First leader Jayda Fransen:
“They think they can get away with ruining our country, turning us into a Third World country, giving away our homes, jobs and heritage, but they will face the wrath of the Britain First movement, make no mistake about it!
We will not rest until every traitor is punished for their crimes against our country. And by punished, I mean good old fashioned British justice at the end of a rope!”
I'm sure you can see how this might inspire some people to take matters into their own hands. It looks like this guy may have toyed with far-right ideas for a long time. The hysteria of the last few weeks probably made him snap.
But that doesn't make it an unfortunate accident. We do have this level of extremism in our society now and to me, those who incite others to become violent are as guilty as the perpetrators themselves.
All those killed in Istanbul RIPThis morning I went there to my standby duty as Im a cabin crew and the things I have seen left a huge darkness in me.Roofs got dark by blast everywhere smell of burn and bullet holes on windows and all smashed into pieces..peoples burned pieces..terrifying..no words can tell :'(
Damn, thats a blow. Love Gene Wilder films. Personal favourite, Stir Crazy. Followed by The Silver Streak. Anything where he is paired with Mr Pryor takes me back to fond film memories. R.I.P funny man :'(

Older is a great album,fantastic production,play it often.Sad news and he was my age!
Sir John Hurt - surely one of the best actors ever . RIP.

Aw, Bill Paxton? :'(
A superb 'everyman' actor, not a household name but always great. He was in too many excellent films to mention, but 'Near Dark', 'A Simple Plan' and 'Frailty' (which he directed) are worth a couple of hours of anyone's time.
Only 61. Damn.

Blimey, this is one totally out of the blue, just like Chris Cornell... Linkin Park singer Chester Bennington has killed himself. I liked some of their earlier stuff, drifted in and out after that, but he had a damn good voice. Only 41 years old. :-\
Very sorry to read this, Red, my condolences to family and friends :(
Nothing much to say but F**K YOU CANCER
Really - No comments on Glen Campbell?
I only own Zen Arcade by Husker Du, which I really like, but never got around to anything else. Direct me to another classic HD album, someone!Flip Your Wig, Candy Apple Grey, Warehouse Songs and Stories are 3 of my faves.
Nowadays, I much prefer to investigate classic acts that I've overlooked than try and find new acts that tickle my fancy... classic 'old fart' sentiment, I suppose. ;)
RIP Tom Petty...
Funny on telly/stage...nasty piece in real life though.

(http://3l0src48hsdnczvosibq5411.wpengine.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/huskerdu-800x533.jpg)The day of Grant's death I traveled home from work listening to his Good News For Modern Man CD singing along to it as I drove. I then found out that he'd died which brought tears to my eyes which is something that has never happened to me before after the death of a "pop star". At least I saw him live so felt a bit closer to him through that.
The guy in the centre.
Just a day before yesterday listened to Bob Mould's (singer, the guy in right) new album.
Malcom Young - 64.Completely agree. Loved ACDC, still love ACDC. Fantastic music career.

Blimey... Cranberries singer Delores O'Riordan, aged just 46. I'm not going to claim to be the biggest fan of this band but they were prevalent during my beloved 90's and hearing a tune of theirs does give me a nostalgia flash...Loved her voice :'(

He used to own a pub somewhere in the Stoke area that I got utterly hammered in once in the late 80's or early 90's... fairly sure I chatted with him at one point! Although those memories are blurry... ;)

I don't know much about this band, but their cover of
Somebody I Used to Know (5 people playing one guitar) (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P9mybTArlsk) was inspired.

Windsor Davies. I thought he'd passed years ago tbh. Quite an interesting life story.
Peter Tork ex Monkees,great shame.......Sad day :'(That band (whether they played the songs or not) was pretty darn excellent. Weird that a fake band for a TV show was actually as good, or even better, than many of their contemporaries. "Pleasant Valley Sunday" happens to be one of the greatest songs ever in pop music. Says something lyrically (maybe only Americans can truly get it) and musically it is phenomenal.
What a beautiful song,it's a band i never got into,my son was a huge fan of the band.........
Keith FlintJust read that. By all accounts a really decent bloke in real life. And only 49 :'(

Are you serious? So if I post 2+2=4, it would pain you to agree with that? You think I am going to rail against you if you express sadness for a man who died? "Oh, Whirlwind might post back something nasty about me if I acknowledge his post about a death." Dude, man up and let go of your childish grudges. Go watch FROZEN and "let it go." You really don't realize how silly you look, do you?
