Everyone will have heard about Pete Seeger's death this week and the papers have been full of lengthy obituaries with some great photos:
Here he is with Arlo Guthrie singing Pete's If I Had a Hammer back in 1993 - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ujzKk_4WBsE
Today is also a famous date in rock history as it was in this day in 1969 that the Beatles performed their famous rooftop concert. Check out an extract here - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IhHRaleljHE
I'm still trying to finalise the line-up for next Friday's Headbang, but I intend in the Obituaries section to focus on just 2 of those who have passed since our last gathering - unless of course some other all-time great passes in the next 7 days. Lou Reed and Phil Everly deserve more than a passing mention, I think.
The usual logistics for next Friday - I assume Jeb and Ian will travel together straight from football, whilst the rest of us can meet up in the Douglas from about 6:45 pm, with CK picking up the curries again, I hope?
