  2. The issue might be that any post made commemorating the death of anyone is immediately moved here. The OP of such a thread might have a different view and be interested in some respectful informed discussion.

    This "rule" disallowing reasonable thread content is not applied anywhere else on the forum AFAIK.

  9. I'm working in the office today, and have Planet Rock on in the background.

    They've mentioned the sad news several times, but none of my colleagues had a clue who he was.
     
  10. More fool them. They don’t know what they are missing. Educate them.
     
  11. I'm the old man in the office, they are too young, but Planet Rock is educating them slowly.

  15. Interviewer: 'How do you get your guitar sound?'
    Wilko: ‘I plug the guitar in here, turn on the amp and turn the knob to here.’
    Interviewer: ‘What about pedals?’
    Wilko: 'I'm a guitarist not a fucking cyclist!'

    They don’t make them like this anymore…RIP Wilko. You will be sorely missed!
