Hey TBB, not all is lost, Ed is still kicking out the jams. From recollection Andy M likes this one as well.
That’s was an interesting doco. Interesting life. Unusual
Surprised that Ric’s passing has not been noted.

Good call Blackers...Life imitates Art...(Rock'n'Roll Heaven is on a roll!)
Might sound odd but as you pointed out Ric's stunt double > Swansong!
With all these Drummers disappearing of late, it's gettin' a bit hard to take!

Last phone call was to mate Brian Lara only hours before death.
Odd thing is he was born in Birmingham of West Indian Parentage.

England wanted to sign him & was loved equally in West Indies & India.

Andrew was equally at home the World over & ever up for a laugh.
How good was Goodfellas!

Terrible news from Japan.
We're in shock here.
I found out this morning and his passing was confirmed not long ago.
RIP.
Yeah so sad and from such a safe country.
Very sad…Abe bought a lot of political stability to Japan for many years. He suffered from Ulcerative Colitis whilst PM..most people with active disease as such struggle with day to day activities and this guy..lead a country for many years. Amazing what he accomplished.

See ya Archie.
Didn’t know a lot of his music but you could recognise his voice whenever you heard it. Saw a doco on his life ages ago and it was touching and enlightening.

Loved that first song TBB.
Thanks.
Broke my hand in to ONJ
Nice tributes TBB. Thanks for those.
views from the + Rabbits68 ...tbb will reward your honest replies in kind!
One of those rare songs that fly under the radar & sounds more relevant each listen.
Of course that's down to Olivia owning the fabulous lyric.
Whats not to like...tbb led with that song knowing it's a real gem...simply too good it is!
Wotz bizarre is the rogues gallery are naturally drawn to this honest lyric & raw song structure!
Almost like some secret scripture to life itself...World awaits a morbid dearth Goth Version.
Many orchestrations / Guitarists / Divas & all sorts cover this song but...
Renowned Oz Pub Rocker takes us for a creepy ride on the darker side!
tbb is rewarding - views from the... + Rabbits68 because you respect the tune as does this artist!
So this is the real deal...a real proper dedication in all honesty & it sounds superb.
Reckon it's his best work & doubt he'd disagree for good reason...this will surprise & please the crew!
2004 Oz style send off... James Reyne's really cool punk tribute to Olivia...can't get a better Salute!
Ok! Super cool! But we're not done yet...here's the back story to this ripper dedication...
tbb begs the crew to listen carefully to the Chorus for the female vocals in James Reyne "Hammerhead"
In fact the secret is outed in the Title...just enjoy!
Yes! That is Olivia singing on James Reyne's Debut LP...who would know?
Now that explains James best ever real honest dedication in return & reason why it sounds so excellent!
Amazing wot we miss...tbb never knew either...news to all of us! Happy to share Olivia's trade secrets.
Nice work tbb.
And it's goodnight from him...
