sad news, torchy. even if i'm not their greatest fan, i've a fondness for some of their songs and the way they can evoke times past that had a feel goodness about them. rocking all over the world always makes me want to dance.

Merry Xmas CB and Lit. Always remember Quo kicking off Live Aid. It pretty much went slowly downhill after that till Queen hit the stage. Rick and Freddie can rock Heaven now.

In America, we had Pictures of Matchstick Men on the radio.Still in a child's frame of mind, I found the song fascinating.So much lighter and fun, than the Rolling Stones's "2000 Light Years from Home," though just as strange and interesting.

With him, goes a piece of my childhood.

I often wonder where they would have been if they had followed the Psychedelic Rock line. Most people forget Like ice in the sun.

It was a particular moment in history, and the exploration of music. There was an explosion of bands following that experimental period. You know what the American music industry was like, at the time. Local money changed between local hands.

Sturdy stuff, that sticks to your ribs.
