David Johansen has died.

 

New York Dolls frontman and star of Scrooged and of course Mr Nanny. 
Also, Buster Pointdexter. 
 

Big fan of his work, and hopefully his doc makes its way over here soon.

Farewell Jack Vettriano.

Artist and painter of The Singing Butler,

Britain's biggest selling print apparently.

It's fair to say that the critics were somewhat snobbish.

Joey Molland, the last surviving member of the band Badfinger died. And so closes the book on Badfinger, a band with one of the most depressing histories you'll come across.

Carl Dean, the mysterious, elusive husband of Dolly Parton, has died at 82. 

Even though he didn't really make many public appearances and chose to lead a normal, private life (as a 'paving contractor'), he's still a notable figure in country music.

He and Dolly actually met on her first day in Nashville, when she was 18, and married two years later. They were together for 60 years and, by most accounts she was faithful to him for that entire time (though some dispute it) even as people like Merle Haggard were publicly declaring their love for her.

He was also somewhat responsible for Dolly writing arguably her most famous song, Jolene, as it was based on a bank teller that would flirt with Carl whenever he went into the bank. Yes, even Dolly fucking Parton got jealous when her husband was involved. 

Fair play, Carl Dean. RIP.

There are a billion shit memes out there in the world but I think my favourite might be when someone posts a photo of Dolly in the 70s and wonders just how fucking hot was this Jolene?
