The way he died was surprisng...sudden contraction of bacterial meningitis. On the plus side, at least he wasn't suffering with a long, painful illness.
Incredible career that's for sure. He's played with so many different people from Stevie Wonder to Kate Bush, to name a couple.
RIP and thank you for the music.

Re: The Dead Musicians thread
I enjoyed that! I think VR captured JB's essence in this piece. Explained his unique and masterful style really well. I like that JB never attached to one single style or genre of music.SR wrote: ↑Sat Jan 14, 2023 6:12 pmVernon's thoughts on JBArtemis wrote: ↑Wed Jan 11, 2023 5:50 pmThe way he died was surprisng...sudden contraction of bacterial meningitis.

R.I.P. Gordon Lightfoot ... one of the best singer/song writers. The soundtrack of the my 70s childhood...
Sadly, never saw him in concert.
One of the newspaper articles I read about GL's death mentioned that Jane's Addiction was one of the many artists who covered his songs. Which song??

Nice tribute...Once called a “rare talent” by Bob Dylan, dozens of artists have covered Lightfoot’s work, including Elvis Presley, Barbra Streisand, Harry Belafonte, Johnny Cash, Anne Murray, Jane’s Addiction and Sarah McLachlan.
Re: The Dead Musicians thread
This claim is so absurd that I went down a rabbithole trying to figure out where it originated. I've tracked it back at least 20 years to this archived CNN article that is just copy from Reuters: http://edition.cnn.com/2003/SHOWBIZ/Mus ... foot.reut/
It sounds like generic press release copy, or something taken from Wikipedia and not fact-checked.
As far as I can figure, the claim is false.
... Okay, even further back now: https://gordonlightfoot.com/DirtyLinenReview.html (1999?)
I'm going to get to the bottom of this.
Here's a crazy article on the original album art for the first P4P album: https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm ... story.html
Re: The Dead Musicians thread
I think the claim is false too. As you mentioned, no fact-checking. I searched like crazy to figure out which song JA covered, but didn't come up with anything. I thought that if JA had done a cover, there might have been an Instagram RIP post or something, but nothing there either. My conclusion is that whoever wrote the piece confused Gordon Lightfoot with the Grateful Dead.Hype wrote: ↑Wed May 03, 2023 8:32 amThis claim is so absurd that I went down a rabbithole trying to figure out where it originated.

Re: The Dead Musicians thread
I'm sure Perry has caught word of this, so that would be cool if they did a Gordon Lightfoot cover now.

Pancreatic cancer is brutal and 59 is too young.
I had no idea he had joined Killing Joke for about a week around 1989. Apparently, he played on the flexidisc demo version of "The Beautiful Dead."

Re: The Dead Musicians thread
RIP Rick Froberg. Automatic Midnight by Hot Snakes has been in constant rotation for 20+ years. The two Drive Like Jehu albums were classic. The other three Hot Snakes albums were great. Pitchfork too. This is a huge bummer, only 55 and according to John Reis, natural causes.
