Iron Butterfly - Unconscious Power

Ahh no. I love early Iron Butterfly! How well known were they over here though? I have never been able to work that out. Everyone knows them in the USA and pre-Led Zep, In-a-Gadda-Da-Vida was Atlantic's best selling LP. EDIT: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida_(album) EDIT: Of 30...

I mentioned awhile back that I found out Gudrun was still alive and she got to 98 in the end. So she was only in her early 60s when the show was made. The episode with Roy Kinnear as manager of local team Chistleton Athletic who draw The Mighty Rovers in the cup was my fave. George Best is...

All gone now. I had forgot Michael Davis died in 2012.

Horrible news about Albini. I love Big Black but wasn't interested in what he was up to musically for a longtime. But he was always one hell of an interviewee. Like MES or Zappa he was always there as a social and especially music business commentator. And expressions of regret on some of...

The rip.ie comments on Emmet are lovely. Nice memories from friends and people who saw him at the Abbey. Plus lots of Glenroe fans and the word "handsome" comes up a lot. Legend.

Remember Virgil smashing his boss Ted Dibiase with the million dollar belt. Extremely sad to hear he was plagued with health issues. RIP

Way better than Megadeth. Where was the church that series was shot at? I never saw this before but remember the programme. I think it was on Fridays about 7 pm circa 1988.

Wiki says Don Henley jumped up on stage when Mojo was playing Don Henley Must Die and joined in. Mojo praised the size of Henley's balls afterwards. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mojo_Nixon

Debbie Gibson is Pregnant With My Two Headed Lovechild Thought the other guy was GG Allin for a minute. Only thing I knew about Mojo Nixon was that he did an album with Jello Biafra.

RIP Melanie. Hope she got a few bob off Brendan

Oh no, Oh no, Oh no, no, no, no. I was listening to The Shangri Las a good bit last week. Mary only turned 75 in December nearly 60 years after she sang all those teen drama tunes - more drama in 2 or 3 minutes than Home and Away can manage in a half hour. Train From Kansas, Out in the Streets...

The PiL appearance in 1980(?) was the highlight of Annie's time on The OGWT. RIP Annie. She loved her music. Algy was the first of 1979 Damned line up to die in 2023 - they're lovely lads really.
