Re: Wilco Johnson
Really! Oh, that's sad. Read his biog a few years ago. Cool bloke. Just today a Wilco / Daltry song came up in my Facebook thing. Must've been connected with his passing.

Re: Wilco Johnson
I've only recently started listening to The Blockheads. Utterly excellent band. RIP.
Beyond a critical point within a finite space, freedom diminishes as numbers increase. This is as true of humans as it is of gas molecules in a sealed flask. The human question is not how many can possibly survive within the system, but what kind of existence is possible for those who so survive.

Re: Wilco Johnson
The interview he did some years ago re his cancer and recovery is worth a listen. Amazing story.
When faced with quality, I recognise it every time.

Re: Wilco Johnson
Loved the Feelgoods from the first time I heard them. Great band. His later work with Daltrey was good. The book and film were excellent.
RIP
RIP

Re: Wilco Johnson
Oh wow! Crumbs...that's a bugger. Rest lightly, man. My mate always referred to him as 'Machine Gun Tele'...as a play on the bad-ass, '30s gangster cat, 'Machine Gun Kelly'...not the contemporary rapper dude. Don't puns always suck if you end up having to explain them...

A hero. Most of time people make me sick, but it's the opposite with Wilco J.
