When your month is going as bad as it ever could, but you end your week with these two legends, well, long live the soundtrack to my youth midge ure💙 Paul Young

I've always wondered, and never asked you, but are you showing off your invisible juggling skills on the front cover of Vienna, perhaps? Your hands are slightly blurred, so you were obviously caught in some kind of exciting creative movement! But, if not that, what?! midge ure💙

My past 30 years summed up perfectly: "We got just one shot of life, let's take it while we're still not afraid. Because life is so brief and time is a thief when you're undecided. And like a fistful of sand, it can slip right through your hands." Sir Roderick David Stewart, CBE

Adam Ant @ Royal Oak Music Theatre in Royal Oak, MI - Friday, 13th September, 2019 - A very extensive, track by track, and ultimately sweaty review! annecarlini.com/ex_concert.php…

I hope that 2020 takes you where you want to go, where you need to be, and provides you both calmness and serenity along with moments of sheer, unadulterated joy. Take care, be well and God Bless. Love, Russell xx

In 2016, I had the pleasure of meeting Terry Jones and chatting about his Monty Python days - as we were talking, he beckoned me in closer and said, "I've got Alzheimer's, sorry" (something his assistant vehemently denied) - but I could see Terry was struggling even back then ...

… Sadly the big foot from above has come down on him today, but I will always remember our chat fondly - God Bless you, my friend xo

The lovely Jeremy Bulloch ('Boba Fett,' Star Wars) has passed away today aged 75 - I met him in 2015 at MCC, just as I was wrapping up for the day - he had nobody at his booth, was sat down alongside his wife, Maureen, barely visible above the overly high table the event had ...

put up for him, but, seeing who he was (due to the huge banner above his head denoting his SW connection), I wandered over - striking up a lovely chat with both he and his wife (both British), we chatted for about 30 mins before I finally bid him farewell - he gave me his ...

UK phone number and email and suggested I call him sometime for a chat about his 'Boba Fett' days, but sadly (as with most all connections made at the MCC), I forgot and time ran away from us both - a lovely man to just chat with and hear stories from, and someone who at the ...

time was not showing any signs of Parkinson's, it was an honor to have had that 30 mins with you, Jeremy, thank you 🙏

Having been in this business for 40 years now, I get that artists come and artists go, whether it be due to inactivity within their career or death, but when a passing is untimely (to my mind), well, it hits home a little deeper.

Steve Harwell (Smash Mouth) is one of those for me, and yes, I know his passing was self-induced, so to speak, but back on May 22nd, 2000, at the 93.1 WDRQ Groovy Heat Wave (Destiny's Child, Smash Mouth, Montell Jordan, Eiffel 65, Vitamin C, Sonique, etc.) at Pine Knob ...

he was full of life, always smiling and a genuinely spirited young man. Long story short, I had been interviewing some of the bands backstage, was leaving a dressing room, but took the corner too sharply and having clipped the wall, promptly hit the floor (camera, tape recorder..

, notes, and more now scattered). Steve came out of the dressing room next door and without hesitation helped me scoop everything back up and then helped me back to my feet. Smiling broadly, he even told me he had already done that twice himself that day! We walked and talked...

for a few moments, as he was getting ready to take the stage, had our photo taken and then that was that.

It might well have only been a few minutes that I spent in his company, but still some 23 years later, and due to his kindness and beaming smile, I remember them as vividly as if it were only yesterday. [R.I.P. Steve Harwell].🤘
