Paid Members Monkee Posted May 21, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted May 21, 2019 Niki Lauda was an absolute legend in more ways than one. I met him a few times over the years and he always had time for fans. To have come through what he went through is an inspiration and he will be very sorely missed. Between him and Charlie Whiting who died earlier this year, it worries me who’s next. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are not kidding, such a bittersweet story really. I remember reading that to my Cousin's daughter one time when babysitting and I was nearly in tears after the first few pages! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keith Houchen Posted June 1, 2019 Share Posted June 1, 2019 Roky Erickson of the 13th Floor Elevators and other bands has died, 71 is a cracking age for a psychedelic musician of that era. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members BomberPat Posted June 1, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted June 1, 2019 That one's hit me hard, but a hell of an innings given the life he had. I adore 13th Floor Elevators, and a lot of Roky's solo material is wonderful - I always saw him as a sort of American Syd Barrett, in his way. That said, perhaps one of his more heartbreaking, fragile moments, was his collaboration with Mogwai;  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
