Shocked no-one mentioned the death of Captain (http://www.guardian.co.uk/music/2010/dec/18/captain-beefheart-don-van-liet-obituary) Beefheart (http://www.irishtimes.com/newspaper/features/2010/1222/1224286069456.html). Referenced this Summer, if I recollect correctly, with typical bizarreness on the General Musings on Music Thread, which proves his bone fides.

Just saw this on BBC website:

The renowned rock guitarist Gary Moore has died, the BBC has learned.

Mr Moore, 58, was, originally from Belfast, and was a former member of the legendary Irish group Thin Lizzy.

Adam Parsons, who manages Thin Lizzy, told the BBC that Mr Moore had died in the early hours of Sunday morning.

Mr Moore was originally drafted into Thin Lizzy by its singer Phil Lynott. He later gained acclaim for his solo work and was a former member of the Irish group Skid Row.

Her life was never the same after it. It seems that when she would ask for something in restaurants the waiters would often snigger and ask her if she'd like some butter as well. She never spoke to the director again and hit the bottle too.

I was a little shocked to read that she was only 19 when she starred in that movie, and opposite Brando of all people. Not a healthy combination.
