Genuinely gutted by this.
You’re not the only one. Here’s Sly and Robbie, on a song by the peerless Gregory Isaacs. One of my favourites by the Cool Ruler; it’s a great song, and that rhythm section is just beautiful. RIP Robbie, one of the greats.
And this one, with Shinehead, I’ve always had a soft spot for…
Dropping like flies:
Always my favourite Monkee.
I’m a bereaver.
You were odds on to post that first
My girlfriend said she’s leaving me because of my obsession with the Monkees.
I didn’t think she was serious, but then I saw her face.
Lovely lyrics
Oh ffs
They made it their own.
Mike Nesmith was always the most talented of the Monkees; at the time they were put together he was the only real musician among them. He also wrote some Monkees songs. And, post Monkees, he made some fine records, like this one:
RIP MIke
Very sad news from the NFL on Thursday night:
There have been a few deaths of recently retired WR’s over the last year, Vincent Jackson included, and sadly they have always been the good ones. The ones who spend their time doing endless charity work, working for the poverty stricken areas in the US they are from.
33 years old is no age.
Jethro is done
I worked with a former NFL player. I won’t reveal his name because he has since done his best to get himself expunged from the records, but it was not a happy career and he didn’t sound well. Dude had constant issues just getting back and even when he was just sitting in chair and working, his breathing sounded like snoring.
And a great and popular karaoke tune that everyone joins in with
Had to find the downside, didn’t you.
But I’ll raise you with Hi Ho Silver Lining
Best Jethro gag ever … you can stretch this out in the pub for however long you like.
Woman goes into a tattoo parlour and asks for a tattoo on her fanny. I say to her, it’s gonna hurt, I’ll have to numb it for you. She opens her legs and I kneel down in front of her and go “nom, nom, nom”
Much better told by Jethro and the whole gag goes on for about 10 minutes !
RIP
