Barry Humphries.

Andy Rourke. Obvs any appreciation of The Smiths is marred (see what I did there?) by Morrissey but this fella was a shit-hot bassist who came up with some fantastic lines. 59 is no age

[WiteWulf]

Very unpleasantly surprised to hear about Andy on 6music this morning. A real loss

Sad to read about Andy Rourke today.
He played some fantastic bass. I only realised that when I got a bit older & started to really listen & pick out the bass a bit more in music.

RIP

Martin Amis.

I remember reading London Fields ("Darts, Keith, darts") and Dead Babies back in the day. They made quite an impression on me and his various run-ins with reviewers and journalists made him seem quite the young rebel. Add in his position as 'the Amis son', it's strange to think of him old and dead.

Although a lot of talented artists were real a**holes, take Picasso for example. Adolf H was a semi-gifted painter, so in this current ban-atmosphere how do we separate art and the artist? Art might be good and interesting yet the person a complete twat.

[KlaxonCow]

how do we separate art and the artist?

In Hitler's case, by eating a bullet.


If anyone does work out how we're able to do this, though, please let me know, so that I can return to enjoying this banger again:




Apparently, Kate Bush has revealed, that song was the inspiration for one of hers:



And it actually featured Rolf on the didgeridoo.

Well that, Rolf and Kate, answers the question posed by a junk advert which I didn't click on earlier in the week. Thanks!
