I'm hearing on Facebook that the wonderful Nanci Griffith has passed away.
It was her 68th birthday last month.

She wrote some great songs, but I think I remember her best for her cover of this John Prine song, on which he sings backup for her.

“I’d like to be more in tune with other people’s feelings… so I can pinpoint their weaknesses and go for them more effectively when I do.” “There’s one good reason for horror films, it’s an opportunity for intimacy between teenagers. It’s ideal because if you take someone to see Saw 2, anything you do to them afterwards will seem like a treat.”“The Daleks: devoid of all emotion except hate. They’re like Piers Morgan on wheels.” “I hear voices. But I ignore them and just carry on killing.”“I like the bonfire thing. I had to take the RSPCA advice quite seriously because they said you should check under your bonfire for sleeping hedgehogs. I couldn’t find any, but luckily I had some in the freezer.” ”‘You got your bag for life?’ Too bloody right I have. Now fill it with vodka or fags. I’m ironic. Let’s see who goes first, me or the bag.”“I’ll tell you one thing: I think Nasa killed Michael Jackson. He died the same week as the anniversary of the initial moon landing, of the first moonwalk. They resent the fact that any time anyone puts ‘moonwalk’ into Google or anything, it comes up with him sliding backwards with a hat on and not the billions they spent going up to do a moonwalk. They hated that, and they killed him.” “I don’t like the Queen. I think it’s absurd that we have a queen. Basically what we’re saying is that we’re no more sophisticated than bees.”“For me, shoes are just a barrier between dog shit and my socks.” RIP Sean Lock OBIT |

R.I.P. Don Everly Don Everly, one half of the rock’n’roll duo the Everly Brothers, has died at his home in Nashville at the age of 84. A spokesperson for the family confirmed Everly’s death with the Los Angeles Times, but did not disclose a cause. A statement from the family said: “ Don lived by what he felt in his heart. Don expressed his appreciation for the ability to live his dreams … with his soulmate and wife, Adela, and sharing the music that made him an Everly Brother.” OBITOne of my favourite tracks from one of my favourite Everly Brothers albums. |
