Wow, I’d begun to think he’d made a deal with the devil and was never going to die. Maybe the devil reneged? Rest in peace, father of rock ‘n’ roll!

Fuck, Chuck berry has died? I was listening to a compilation this very week :frowning:

Yeah, I just found out about it by accident on the 'net. It’ll probably be more prominent in the news in the coming hours.

I wanted to post my favorite Chuck Berry song, “The Promised Land” (Chuck’s nickname for California), here, but I figured it would look like I was making a joke about his death (the Promised Land is also a nickname for Heaven, and it’s sometimes associated with death).

Well, heck, now that I’ve explained things to death, I might as well post it:

Martin McGuinness, a somewhat controversial life however no doubt that without him Northern Ireland would be likely still living in the past.

Yeah, even I can get that :smiley:

However, nobody here knows him personally, and we are here because of him anyway… so a small joke shouldn’t offend anybody

Very cool tunes :slight_smile:

Wow, didn’t realize he was that old. Hope it was natural causes.

More likely

The poor guy just died, and you’re making him roll over in his grave already? At least let him catch his breath…

Another great shuffles off this mortal coil. I’ll be re-watching Silence of the Lambs (yet again) in remembrance.

News has been circulating today around the death of famous trance pioneer and DJ Robert Miles, who passed away in Ibiza at this evening local time. The cause of death has not been disclosed.

Wow, the passing of an icon. I guess if anybody has the earning power to pay off his debts, it’s 謝金燕.

Not half the burden he was to them when he was alive. Sorry, but he was not a very nice man. He had a real bad attitude about women, and he treated his family like shit.
He should have stayed disappeared.

Indeed. I am concerned how much his debts will burden his daughters. I mean, they left him alone halfway to death’s door to work, after some unsavory visits -men in black. That means yes, both in life and death, their father’s burden’s will accompany them. Ruined their personal lives before, hope they do not ruin their careers.
