Paid Members Jazzy G Posted February 5, 2024 Paid Members Posted February 5, 2024 That means the whole original Dad's Army cast has passed away now I think? It's a shame.

Of the main cast, yes. A few supporting actors are still with us, but even then it's only two or three.

Paid Members BomberPat Posted February 6, 2024 Paid Members Posted February 6, 2024 Toby Keith, aged 62, from stomach cancer.
SaitoRyo Posted February 6, 2024 Posted February 6, 2024 Damn. Toby Keith was far from my favourite country music star (he'd gone very MAGA in recent times), but he made some fine records in the 90s. He was also a huge wrestling fan and actually performer on the very first TNA show! Cancer is a fucker. RIP. Here's one of my favourites of his.
Paid Members BomberPat Posted February 6, 2024 Paid Members Posted February 6, 2024 yeah, he was also one of the money men behind Global Force Wrestling, and Jarrett tried to get him to buy/bankroll TNA more than once. The MAGA thing was nothing new, sadly, he'd been a right-wing loon since the days of country music hating the Dixie Chicks for being anti-Bush and anti-war.

It's strange, because he was previously an outspoken democrat IIRC. But yeah, the Iraq war and feud with the Dixie Chicks seems to have been a turning point and it was no surprise to see him go the MAGA route. He was a massive star, of course, and a bunch of those 90s records are well worth a listen if anyone is interested in that era of country music.
Paid Members johnnyboy Posted February 6, 2024 Paid Members Posted February 6, 2024 I once really enjoyed his music, and whilst I wouldn't wish it on anyone I can't pretend that I wasn't a fully paid up member of Friends United in Truth and Kindness.
SaitoRyo Posted February 8, 2024 Posted February 8, 2024 Outlaw country cult hero Mojo Nixon at 66. He died on the Outlaw Country Cruise (where he was performing and acting as host) because, I mean, yeah. Here's probably his best-known song. RIP.
Paid Members Statto Posted February 8, 2024 Paid Members Posted February 8, 2024 (edited) Ah that sucks. Like Mojo a lot, and you've posted my favourite song! Edit: what the hell, I'll add this. Maybe tonight Mojo, maybe tonight... Edited February 8, 2024 by Statto Jesus.
Paid Members BomberPat Posted February 8, 2024 Paid Members Posted February 8, 2024 I mostly know Mojo from his collaborations with Jello Biafra - they did a fun cover of "Love Me I'm A Liberal" by Phil Ochs, which I actually knew before I ever heard the original. He was also inexplicably in the Mario Bros movie.
Keith Houchen Posted February 10, 2024 Posted February 10, 2024 Oh fuck. One of the pioneers. A frontman like no other, still innovating right up to the end. He even did improv gigs in Coventry! Gutted about this one.
Paid Members BomberPat Posted February 10, 2024 Paid Members Posted February 10, 2024 Fuck, that one hurts. His stuff with Can is as good as anything ever recorded, and his never-ending improv tour was fantastic. I met him at ATP in 2007, and he was a real class act - wheelchair-bound at the time, but just super enthused to be around music and watching as much as he could.
