RIP - Paying Respects to those we've Lost

18 years since we lost George Carlin. So much of his standup comedy became a dark reality, he is truly missed.

As the world moves onwards and - maybe, possibly, hopefully - upwards we learn that large parts of it, of our lives and times, were significantly shaped by a small number of figures. Clive Davis was one of them; far from an unknown character, his influence went further than many casual audiences may be aware.

In the future his place in the music industry will be taken by algorithm and AI…

Wow! Sometimes life and your own mind are doing strange things…

I didn’t know him as a comedian or know his name.

I only knew him from the Bill and Ted movies and although I didn’t thought about these movies for years, today while working I thought… one of the reasons the third movie from a couple of years ago didn’t work was they didn’t have that cool fun guy anymore, with his time machine/telephone booth.

That is sad news. Bonnie Tyler nearly sang a James Bond song. She was asked but turned the offer down because she didn’t like the song which was Never Say Never Again. Would have been interesting.

In honor of her, I just went on YouTube and watched Andrew Harker’s “James Bond - Holding Out For A Hero” video from 12 years ago. It’s a fitting tribute to both 007 and Tyler.

RIP Bonnie.

In Casino Royale (1967) she was one of the few possitive things. I always liked her.
