So sorry for your loss Tim. Please use this place and us as whatever sort of respite that you need.ArmagideonTim wrote: ↑20 Dec 2022, 7:54amWhat a shitbag year this has been.

He bought Gangsters when it came out and had a live boot before the first album came out. I had the reverse surprise of hearing the slow Too Much Too Young second. The Specials was the second album I ever bought and Terry Hall was the coolest man on earth to me.
I was just finalising the Christmas presents for my sister in law and niece last night when I saw this news. It has brought everything back and feels like my brother has gone all over again.
So cheers Tom and Terry and fuck off 2022. 2023 better have something good in store soon or it can fuck off too.
Sorry to ramble on but I had to put it somewhere.

I often wished I'd had an older brother to set me on a righteous musical path. I flailed about liking stupid rock bands as an 11/12 year old cos that's what my mates were into. But the power of The Jam, SLF and The Clash finally got me anyway.
Sorry about your bro.
There's a tiny, tiny hopeful part of me that says you guys are running a Kaufmanesque long con on the board

Thank you all for the kind words. It really has hit me today. Its weird the way music can fuck your emotions. Poor Martin Duffy too, he was only a bit younger than me. I first saw them around the time of velocity girl, not sure whether he was in them then.
Going to hide under the duvet now in case anyone else dies.
It's all a load of bollocks and bollocks to it all.

Franco Harris. Reading his obit and it was noted that the "Immaculate Reception" game (which occurred 50 years ago Friday) was the Steelers' first playoff win ever. That's kind of crazy considering they had been in the league since 1933.

Even with all we know about brain injury caused by football, I still think of 1970s NFL in romantic terms, and no team was cooler than the Steelers, especially compared to flashy Cowboys. Franco Harris even had a perfect, no-nonsense running back name.Mimi wrote: ↑21 Dec 2022, 12:40pmGrowing up in the Pittsburgh area, I heard his name everywhere back in the day.

It certainly is. Willie is my favorite baseball player of all time. The coolest thing for me as an 8-year-old was finding the occasional Willie Stargell in a pack of baseball cards. Funny, I hate the Steelers and Penguins, but have always loved the Pirates, largely because of Stargell.

I have the dvd set to the Pirates 1979 WS. It was the first WS I watched from start to finish as a kid, and it amazed me how the Pirates could be down 3-1 and somehow come back to win. Bless those hideous bumblebee uniforms.Kimmelweck wrote: ↑21 Dec 2022, 1:55pmIt certainly is. Willie is my favorite baseball player of all time.

Re: The Kaleb Horton Deceased Latvian Foreign Minister Thread, 2022 Edition
Our minor league team in Buffalo, the Bisons, was Pittsburgh’s farm team back then. They wore the exact same bumblebee uniforms, but with “Bisons” instead of “Pirates”, or a “B” instead of a “P”. I had one of those goofy, horizontal-lined, flat-topped pillbox Pirates ballcaps that I got in Cooperstown. It’s probably still in a closet somewhere at my parents’ house.Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑21 Dec 2022, 1:59pmI have the dvd set to the Pirates 1979 WS.

Yeah, that is crazy. I tend to think of the Steelers as a team that has perpetually had more than its fair share of playoff success.WestwayKid wrote: ↑21 Dec 2022, 12:34pmFranco Harris.
