    Another music icon has been taken from us too soon, David Bowie. This world is losing so many iconic musicians over the last few years but I suppose they are at an age now where these situations are likely to occur.

    This David Bowie thing isn't a hoax BC he just released a new album is it? That would be epic.

    Apparently written about his upcoming demise.

    "Look up here; I'm in heaven!"

    Shades of "Days of our Lives" by Queen, when Freddie Mercury fades out saying "I still love you"

    There's something strange going on. Hans Gruber has gone for real this time. Alan Rickman dead at 69.

    A classic villain, but I think his brother Felix (Jeremey Irons) was even better.

    In no way connected to the villainous theme of the last few posts...

    PJ Mara ('Maaaaahhhraa') died overnight. Whatever his politics, he was probably the shrewdest political operator of my lifetime.

    http://www.rte.ie/news/2016/0115/760336-pj-mara/

    Remember hearing an anecdote about him years ago - true or not I can't say, but the source was well connected... Apparently he walked into a bank on Baggot St in the middle of an armed robbery. The robber turned the gun on him and said 'down on the floor'. Mara replied 'f*** off' and walked out.
    Hello, hello? What's going on? What's all this shouting, we'll have no trouble here!

    Was listening to Newtalk this morning and they were playing "Scrap Saturday" excerpts in his honour. I thought it was deeply disrespectful. Will be the last time I listen to that Morning show.

    R.I.P. Dale Griffin. He was a noted record producer (The Cult, Hanoi Rocks) and radio producer of sessions by the likes of Nirvana, as well as being part of the influential Mott the Hoople (Mick Jones of the Clash was a big fan).
