The Rest in Peace Thread (RIP)

[ribbons]

A massively influential artist and gentle man. Great story, Frown - glad you stuck by Simeon. Silver Apples's first two albums hold permanent place among my favorite albums of all time.

Yes, I think so too (became a bit dizzy watching it, having had only about 2 hrs sleep last night. The joys of working remotely 'round the clock. )

That's really wonderful music, I had never heard of them before.
And I can imagine those visuals make you dizzy if you're sleep deprived they're mesmerising

Here's a good article imo, if you're interested in reading about Silver Apples. https://recordcollectormag.com/articles/first-contact

(And I'm no longer sleep deprived, although still a bit dizzy. )

Thanks, that was a great read! Listening to them today while working was very pleasant

Well, it wasn’t looking good a few days ago for Toots,
and now we have confirmation of his death. Of course,
the new thing is to appease the non-believers and not
be definitive that it was Covid, but, you know...
Father of the term “reggae” and a force.

Do you know if that has anything to do with why the cause of death of Gary Peacock hasn’t been released?

Also, I know you can’t even come close to defining Toots by one song but Pressure Drop is one of those very few songs that...man, it’s so powerful- it takes you over completely, physically and emotionally.

RIP

Wiki is currently saying it was covid.

Damn.

I don't know about Peacock's circumstances,
but Toots had been in a medically induced coma
for something like 3 or 4 weeks specifically due to
the virus. A few days ago, reports were saying that
things didn't look good for him and when I noticed
that he died yesterday, suddenly there was no mention
of the virus. I guess if you go past the Wiki death listings,
it will show up - somewhat. Anyway, such is life (and death).
