ariotofmyown Posted October 2, 2017 Share Posted October 2, 2017 The world is a bit crap these days. Only started listening to him recently as guy at work went to see him and raves about him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richinspain Posted October 2, 2017 Share Posted October 2, 2017 ? Why is it that when I see someone's name on here I immediately think "surely they can't have died", and f. me they have. Although not one of my favourite artists as such, he made some of my most liked songs. Far too young. Has the cause been announced? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ramit Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 One of my favorite musicians, a high quality artist who never wrote a bad song. The world's loss and heavens gain, his music will live always Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
t'oldu Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 Saw him at the NEC at the end of a world tour with Dylan and the guy from The Birds with the strange sounding guitar. A night to treasure. They were still fresh and interacting despite all those months together. BBC showed the Australian concert. Hope they show it again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JG400 Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 Never really liked him , sort of bundled him up with Todd Rundgrens Utopia and the Ramones , bit like American Beer , Well known, Sounds good on paper but ultimately disappointing Preferred Ted Nugent when I was a Teenager Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
