Re: Jeff Beck
And again you make everything about yourself and drag stuff off-topic. You were a mod? What the hell was Percy thinking?

What can be asserted without evidence can also be dismissed without evidence. -Christopher Hitchens

Facts don't lie or have an agenda. Facts are just facts

"God did it" is not an argument. It is an excuse for intellectual laziness.

If your viewpoint has merits and facts to back it up why would you have to lie?

Re: Jeff Beck
Another word you do not know the meaning of.
Eulogy
quote:
a speech or writing in praise of a person or persons, especially one who recently died or retired, or as a term of endearment.
Eulogy - Wikipedia
Instead of talking about him, you talked about your own mortality. Not a eulogy.

Re: Jeff Beck
I think part of his lack of mainstream fame and hit albums is that he preferred instrumental work. Most people, including myself, need the lyrical piece to hold everything together. He was a guitarist's guitarist more so than a popular musician. It did not make him less great just not as mainstream.

Always one of my faves. All of his solo albums since 2014's Croz have been phenomenal.

Just a little personal trivia. He passed away on my father's birth and death day. My father was born on 3/21/1936 and passed away on 3/21/2017.

Re: Gordon Lightfoot, 84
I live about 15 miles outside of Superior, WI where the Edmund Fitzgerald left from on its final trip. In 1975 my wife's grandparents would have been able to see it on its way on Lake Superior from their farmhouse a 1/4 mile up the road. I know people that saw it many times on it's visits to the Twin Ports. I even have met people that were passengers as guests of the company.
Gordon was a well-known and well thought of around here.
