[THE SEVENTIES NORTH BANK]

For you young whippersnappers wondering who is Linda Lewis?
She was an Eastender, with a five octave range.

Linda Lewis.

"In 1964, she sang "Dancing in the Street" with John Lee Hooker at a club in Southend-on-Sea ..." (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linda_Lewis)

You never told me this, Cricko.

And what was the club .

 

[Rob Noxious]

And what was the club .

I don't know. I'm hoping that Cricko might remember.

You've let yourself down Phil. We've now got one on here saying he hopes he gets cancer, and you hoping he dies.

Isn't everyone saying that about people on this thread????

Clearly it's not serious or it would be on another thread!

 

[Target man]

Ok I've removed it before everyone gets upset, I'd never wish that on anyone and insulted you would think that of me ...I can assure you I've witnessed more death than anyone on this zone so dont put me in the same bracket as that 'cancer' comment .... maybe this whole bad taste thread should be shut down!

I would argue one relinquishes the moral high ground as soon as one starts start betting on peoples deaths.

Not me. I've never entered this competition, if that's the word. I certainly comment after a famous person has died.

Completely..

So easy for people to jump on the band wagon on what was clearly a joke (allbeit admittedly bad taste - on a bad taste thread) when they have listed a death wish list themselves. I find it a bit hypocritical to be honest. Anyway, have a good summer people. I'm done with this site for a while, got bigger things to worry about.

Phil, if you mean me, I haven't done a death wish list. You've explained it was a poor taste joke, that should be the end of it. I apologise publicly for upsetting you, and look forward to more of your posts.

Not at all .... I do my research

And I would counter argue that if this thread offends you then give it a wide berth instead of expecting people to join you on your very moral high ground.
For what it’s worth Mr Phil I saw the humor in your post .

 

[THE SEVENTIES NORTH BANK]

To be honest, I don't mind this thread at all. I can understand why people do a predicted death list, and why people choose not to. I choose not to do a list, but enjoy commenting, and looking up things about famous people that have just passed.

I never said it offended me.

 

[Napster]

I don't have a moral high ground.

 

[Berrichonne shrimper]

I’m no expert on anything but as far as I know it’s the second time you have expressed a negative option on the fact this thread exists which obviously is a valid opinion but if this thread doesn’t offend you why feel the need to post negative comments about it.
Just saying.

 

[Target man]

This doesn't need to be a mountain out of a molehill. I have removed my attempt at humour as it offended some, which is bizarre on a thread where people are making the same comments, but there you go. I appreciate we live in a generation where people are far more sensitive and offended so I'll measure from here what I do post.

I'm not judging anyone at all, each to their own humour or morals.

Anyway, apologies if I offended anyone, that wasn't the intention.

End of subject, enjoy the thread as it was intended, which will be without any of my further contributions.

In the misty past,I once waited downstairs in the STUDIO as rumour was John Lee Hooker was coming after a gig in Ipswich. Any connection or just a co incidence?

I don't know, Growler. There could be a connection if he was touring over here back in '64.

Just found this > https://www.guitarplayer.com/players/watch-john-lee-hooker-bringing-the-blues-to-london-in-1964 < indicating that he was in London in March '64.

Might have been Shades which I think was along that parade at the top of Pier Hill. My mum used to get in there around that time and she mentioned they had live music.
