The Dead Thread

[SuperTimCahill]

R.I.P Tony Mills, aged 57

Singer in my hometown band TNT and British rock band Shy in the 80s. Not my favorite music, but he seem’d like a nice guy and TNT was arguably Norways biggest rock band for a while. Cancer sucks.

You've had more episodes than Coronation Street

 

[Charles Hawtrey]

Cokie Roberts - American political reporter for Public Radio. I once sat next to her on a plane ride from Charlotte to DC. she had so much knowledge of US politics as both her parents were Senators and was the voice to hear on any political situation over the last 20 years for me, and more for others. She spent the whole journey writing responses to letters from 'fans'. Also one of the 3 women who mastered political reporting for Public Radio in the US. Bit of a hero for me.

.....former French President Jacques Chirac has died, aged 86.

He was a bit of a Jacques the Lad on the side apparently.

Tried to think about a connection between drumming and knock knock knocking on heavens door but it doesn’t really work. Hope he pulls through.
