Carl F Gauze tallies 19 deaths in 2006 that somehow affect all of us, even though we may have missed their obituary.
... of culture, who is? And yeah, I missed Satan's School for Girls. Bed time, don't you know. 11. What space case will ever find peace without Syd Barrett? Pink Floyd filled stadia with teenagers and gave drug use a higher purpose. Rockers rarely die of old age these days, and Syd went from diabetes or ...

"Melodic with a touch of groove and an anemic, very white approach to the vocals, but still soulful." Gail Worley talks to Johnny Marr, currently of The Healers and formerly of the Smiths, and manages to keep it together. Mostly.
... basically "a melting pot of the stuff I liked growing up." The indelible influences of some of his favorites -- T Rex, David Bowie, Mott The Hoople, Syd Barrett's Pink Floyd, and early Stones -- as well as bits and pieces of the Smiths and Bevan's middle eastern rhythmic sensibilities -- filter through ...

And for ...

... organ raunch ("How Indiscreet"), Bird and his army of violins have made a musical universe that no one else inhabits, and unless Django Reinhart and Syd Barrett record together, ain't nobody gonna be joining him anytime soon.

November 1998 :: Print :: Unknown Legends of Rock N Roll (James Mann)
... ending years of tyranny. Each performer's overview highlights their own unique gifts.
