Big loss, for sure. She was a legend. 
I always loved hearing her laughter at the end of this song. RIP

RIP Andy Rourke

RIP. His basslines were so good.

Actor Ray Stevenson dead at age 58, before his new Star Wars show is even released. He was so good in Rome.

Edit: sounds like he was mortally wounded on a movie set, and died as a result.

hold it together man! at least it's not us yet. can you imagine when it comes to our generation to check out? we'll go out en-masse. 

these old fogies are checking out at a bad time and leaving us in the middle of this mass extinction shit they started. we don't have long to enjoy earth.

Tina Turner dead? Better switch on the news. Watched a documentary about her a few weeks ago. One of those programs you think you might watch 15 minutes and go to bed but end up watching the whole hour and hitting the sack late. Fascinating story, life and person, though the music isn’t exactly (definitely not) my thing!

RIP Tina Turner.  Was one of my mom's favorite singers.  Always fills me with good memories when I hear her voice.

r.i.p. the big homie kenneth anger

RIP

this is one of the first songs i really remember loving when i was a kid. used to get stuck in my head regularly until i was about 30. it’s super 80s ofc... the minimal arrangement and the weirdo synths and solo, grooving guitar riff, all held together with those muted key chords? just great. but obv Tina’s belting-to-restraint and snarky attitude in her inflection, just a real pro performance…and her voice was the hook that always got stuck in my head of course, with those low background singers. not the best song ever written or sung, but it was always very particular and unique and addictive to my ears, particularly when i was younger. 

obv still a great song. she’s got plenty of others but this one was the one i loved.

I was telling my wife yesterday that this is pretty much the first music I remember listening to. My parents caned this shit when I was 3-5 years old (along with Toto’s Rosanna, which was my favorite song apparently, lol). 
 

I guess Tina kind of hated WLGTDWI, but she fucking killed it anyway. 
 

Gonna need to rewatch Beyond Thunderdome asap.

RIP
 

r.i.p. to the most space-age pop woman of all time
