LESS OF THE BULL NOW!
I tell you what is spooky (for me anyway!)
As I said before, last week listened to Issac Hayes who i rarely listen to. Next day, the legend is dad
Well today same bloody thing. Listened to that Ronnie Drew cd that the Irish Indo gave away a few months ago, listened to two of the songs on it. Havent listened to R Drew in months. next thing the legend is dead. Jesus
Rip, Ronnie Drew
(now if i could only get my hands on a few westlife cds)
R.I.P. Mr. Drew. A true gentleman if ever there was one. Sad day indeed.
Did you ever notice that in every painting of Adam & Eve, they have belly buttons. Think about that...take as long as you want.
Complete legend! An Irish great, R.I.P.
Life without Rovers, it makes no sense...it's a heartache...nothing but a fools game. S.R.F.C.
Sad news, great talent.
Sad to hear. One of the great Irish voices. A part of Irish heritage, everyone knew who he was. R.I.P Ronnie, you'll be sadly missed.

He used to play at the harbour bar in Bray before he made it to the big time.
Sean Kilfeather. Irish Times sports writer, good one too. Always used to look forward to The Fifth Column.
more bass
I think that was Brendan Behan who said that but not a bad put down.Originally Posted by Scram
I often used to see Ronnie in the last few years of his life in a pub in Greystones, many will know it, The Burnaby. He would come in a have a glass of red wine and sit quietly chating to friends. A sad loss coming so quickly after the death of his wife, as so often happens.
Good luck to you Ronnie. I'll have one for you.

Apparently he only got to do 50 of them.

Dan LaFontaine has died - the world will never be the same again. Until one man who had the voice stepped forward...
That question was less stupid, though you asked it in a profoundly stupid way.
Help me, Arthur Murphy, you're my only hope!
Richard Wright has died aged 65 after a short battle with cancer. One of those moments where I feel a little bit of me or my life has died as well.
Job well done Richard. Bravo.
" I wish to God that someone would be able to block out the voices in my head for five minutes, the voices that scream, over and over again: "Why do they come to me to die?"
Totally agree Lionel........sad news....Shine On!Richard Wright has died aged 65 after a short battle with cancer. One of those moments where I feel a little bit of me or my life has died as well.

He's gone to the dark side of the moon:

He wrote Great Gig In The Sky. Very apt. They played it on Today fm this morning just before 7am. Usually I'm stuck with the melody of some sh!te song in me head all day. I've been huming Gret Gig all morning (obviously not quite as high as the original version!).
Very nicely put Lionel. It's not often that someone's passing like that affects you in that way.
Actor, Eric Longworth who played the town clerk in Dad's Army. Not too many of the actors left at this stage.

So farewell then the Celtic Tiger. Well known to the rich people of Ireland, seldom seen by plenty of us. You graced us with your presence, don't go changing.
