Well, he might have taken all the royalties and credit for the saxophonist's work (not Bob Holness) but there was a lot more to the man's career than one song.

A rather sad ending though. :(

Even though I never knew you
I feel close now that you're dead
Even though we never met
Now I'm posting in your thread

Some old saying comes to mind
About the best and early leaves
Speaking of leaves they tend to fall
As a symbol to our griefs

Farewell my "friend" and RIP
Why can I make no marquee?
Some pink letters will have to do
As I say "good bye" to thee

I'm still waiting for backup from the silent hordes of TTLG's Gerry Rafferty fans

WHERE ARE YOU GUYS

A MAN HAS DIED

After the Beefheart thread was so poorly attended I lost all faith in this community to throw a decent funeral.

Although we do, apparently, care a fair bit about the death of some actor I've never seen in anything or even heard of.

What do you mean, "poorly attended". I was there.

Anyway, welcome to Celebrity-Death-Chat. Pick a celebrity. (Preferably an old one.) Wait til they day the die. Then make a thread with an oblique reference in the title. That's it, you're in.

If you expect me to care about someone's death, you're gonna have to put a friggin' name somewhere in the post. I'm not clicking on unlabeled links just to find out who it is.

Fingernail on 5/1/2011 at 22:42

If you don't know who it is from the title and the post, you're probably not going to care anyway. The name does feature in the thread though! :thumb:

OH PEW PEW PEW NOBODY CARES ABOUT FUCKING GERRY RAFFERTY OK I GET IT

Nope, never heard it.
