RIP Lemmy Kilmister of Motorhead. Not a huge fan of the band, but he was always an engaging interviewee.
The Ace of Spades. Possibly the greatest geVy metal song ever
 
Watching the NYE celebration in NY and then I read Trapper from MASH died at 82 on NYE.

RIP Wayne Rogers.

Sad to read this. Great childhood memories, although both Rodgers and Stevenson made huge career errors leaving the show so early.
 
And they both pretty much admitted it afterwards.
They saw Alan Alda as getting too much of the kudos and thought they could do just as well given the chance and they weren't getting that on MASH.

RIP Trapper, a better character than BJ anyday.

Haha, that's the ultimate meeting of science and popular culture. Not terribly appropriate though.

Sad to hear. Looks like the drugs and alcohol finally caught up on him.

RIP Stevie. I'm quite sure Evie will get a run a few times today on the radio....I'll remember him in the 2nd part.

:( Beautiful rendition by JPY.

David Bowie, after an 18 month battle with cancer, released his latest album 3 days ago!
 
That was a shock to hear. Had a big effect on my late teenage years. R.I.P. David.

Crikey. Another of the gods of my youth departs.

Same here ant. You just can't believe this happens.

Living like a recluse in the last few years might have been the signs to this.
