What?!? I barely got done mourning the iconic Loni Anderson.

This reminds me that I was looking for a movie to watch and I saw Betterman is streaming for free. Good reviews from people and critics....but...who the hell is Robbie Williams? Do I really want to watch a biopic, featuring a CGI Ape as a real human singer that I've never heard of.

RIP to Mr. Reid. Whoever he was. Seems like maybe he should have accepted some of those offers to sing lead for bigger bands,

Back in the day, Reid was offered the lead singer gig for Jimmy Page's new band and passed. I just happened to listen to him last week. He rocked, he should have been bigger.

So he's most famous for being "once courted by rock titans Led Zeppelin and Deep Purple"? Sounds like an icon to me. Lol

Joanna Carson RIP.

It's tough seeing so many icons pass away lately. Joanna was Johnny Carson's third wife and she did some modeling in the 1960s.

I consider myself pretty knowledgeable on the history of British rock and owned dozen of albums from bands most of y'all have never heard of. For olds who grew up around NYC in the heyday of WNEW-FM, my favorite hour of the week was Scott Muni's "Things From England" show on Friday afternoons.

I don't believe I have ever heard a Terry Reid song and certainly wouldn't recognize him or his voice.

I am very familiar with Robbie Williams.

RIP iconic voice guy.

They will surely go fast and furious over the next decade. When you think about how many legends hit their strides in the 60's, 70's, 80's. The Stones alone all have to be fairly high up in the dead pool. Unfortunately
