@JBoorman Jon lost his courageous battle with glioblastoma today. Thank you for your kind messages of support throughout his journey as well as letting him know of the positive impact he had. What a blessing to have that gift. My children and I are forever grateful.

Today in 1984: The Smiths release “Hatful of Hollow”, which, of course, features “This Charming Man” — a delicious, @Johnny_Marr melody atop 15 tracks of guitar.

He once gave a quick demo, via @ManchesterDose. 💯

“When I showed Lou the contact sheets, he zeroed in on the transformer shot. The first test I made fell out of focus in the exposure. Lou loved the result. It took me twelve attempts to reproduce this accident for the final larger print for the album cover."

"I wrote that song ['Cowgirl in the Sand'] and 'Cinnamon Girl' and 'Down by the River' all in one afternoon. I had 104 temperature and I was sick in bed" —Neil Young, 1988 https://t.co/w2KJIxuYnX

Roger Waters on “Wish You Were Here”

“I think most of the songs I’ve written have all posed similar questions. Can you free yourself enough to be able to experience the reality of life as it goes on before you, or not. Because if u can’t, you stand on square one. Until you die.”

[Jon Boorman @JBoorman]

Best Dad-joke band names:

Johnny Dollar and the Deutschmarks
Al Fresco and The Outsiders
Hal E. Tosis and The Bad Breaths
Dick Tate and The Transcribers

I’ve played a gig using the Johnny Dollar one. What else have you got?

[Jon Boorman @JBoorman]

My thanks to all of you who reached out last week in response to my #Glioblastoma. I’m truly flattered by the many heartfelt and gracious comments.

Today I had my second surgery which was a resounding success.

If you're lucky, be grateful, play by the rules, and extend kindness/generosity and a helping hand to those who aren't. Fates can often shift.

King of the Delta Blues. Arguably the most influencial figure in rock music. Ask Clapton, and the Stones amongst others. Highly recommend the Netflix documentary.
