2016 really needs to just go away.

2016 really needs to just go away.

I totally agree with you there, GG.

You missed George Michael

 

[Dawgluver]

Horrible year.

Do NOT look at Carrie's French bulldog, Gary's, Twitter account. Unless you really want to cry. So sad.

That was surprising. The last I read was Carrie Fisher was in stable condition. Sixty's pretty young to die of a heart attack, too.

Sad to see all of them gone. On the other hand, my family and friends all made it through 2016 safely. Those are the people who impact my life the most, so in my little world all is still good.

Well I just took those who died during Christmas this year. I forgot Rick Parfitt.

Their song..."Pictures of Matchstick Men" was psychedelic cool sounding. It's prehistoric heavy metal almost (not a fan). I'm talking about the lead guitar plucking those notes to start the song. That was radical unheard of back then, to start a song that way.

She had some bouts with addictions and mental illness. Who know how those experiences may have weakened her heart and caused it to be older than it should have been. It can happen.

She should have pickled her self more like Keith Richard.

 

[GotGarlic]

She should have pickled her self more like Keith Richard.

This thread is supposed to be about mourning her loss. Can we not be disrespectful, please?

The year isn't over yet.

He was great. The band was great, though not as popular in America as it was in Europe, but that is not uncommon.

Oh please. No more.

RIP Carrie.

Don't forget John Glenn and Greg Lake.

 

[CharlieD]

It really has been a terrible year.
