Gone but not forgotten!

I was really sad to hear about Kirstie. I watched her in Cheers (preferred her character to Diane Chambers) and then in the Look Who's Talking movies.

Kirstie had the most AMAZING eyes, didn't she? Decent actress too! (Golden Globe winner for best actress in Cheers)

As well as Kirstie's family, I can't help but feel sorry for John Travolta who has lost another much-loved friend, and so soon after Olivia Newton John.

Oh yeah she had very striking eyes. She was very beautiful and she took a lot of media abuse over her weight issues.

I also preferred her to Diane.

Runner up on Celeb Big Brother too.

She was very beautiful and she took a lot of media abuse over her weight issues.

This type of thing annoys me (to say the least). People did it with Kate Bush too. When she made her comeback shows the other year, all some pathetically shallow people could talk about was how much weight she's gained and that 'surely she must be ill'..

It seems that anyone in the public eye is fair game for weight shaming with a side serving of the "be kind" platitude.

And for having endless digs at period.

RIP Terry Hall.

I'm not a Cov kid by birth but the city adopted me, and I love the place. I spent a year or so working in the archive at the Transport Museum behind the galleries listening to Ghost Town on a loop.

I didn't know much about The Specials when I came to the city, but their amazing music and their angry humanism really chimed with me when I began to learn about them.

Feeling a tiny bit lost.

Feeling a tiny bit lost.

I know that feeling, Blue.

I liked The Specials and Fun Boy Three.

[Catkins]

Oh no! This does make me sad.

[Scass]

Oh this is sad. We are always singing Thinking of you. I didn’t realise he was in fun boy three, I loved them too.

I think the song 'Ghost Town' certainly reflects the zeitgeist of the past couple of years; firstly the Covid lockdowns in 2020 and early 21, and now the COL crisis, even though that song (and that particular genre in general) seems rather tame compared to a lot of today's grime and drill music, which ironically doesn't seem to be as memorable nor carry quite the same weight IMO and tends to get lost in the ether.

Oh no! I'm shocked by this news.
