    Geez not another one.

    Can't remember much of him in the ring but his guest appearance in Married with Children was superb entertainment. RIP

    His heart must have been working overtime

    I'm astonished he made it to 61.

    Yeah I think he was one of those obese but strong and surprisingly mobile guys.

    Fuck me Hulk Hogan must have attended some funerals in his time....

    Thats sad , Big Wednesday is the greatest movie ever made . He'd had a lot of issues since he made that though.

    Matt Johnson:
    You know, Mrs. Barlow, there's something I'd like straighten out.

    Mrs. Barlow:
    What's that, Matt?

    Matt Johnson:
    Well, I did a lot of things around here I'm kind of ashamed of. I tore up your lawn with my '40 Ford...

    Mrs. Barlow:
    Many times.

    Matt Johnson:
    Took my pants off in front of your friends...

    Mrs. Barlow:
    Oh, yes.

    Matt Johnson:
    And I even passed out in your closet, but I never, and I don't know who could have if I didn't, but I never, and I repeat never, ever pissed in your steam iron.

    Sergeant Slaughter better watch out, Hogan's main opponents from each of the first 6 Wrestlemanias are dead (Piper, Bundy, Andre, Andre, Macho Man, Warrior).

    I used to love reruns of their show growing up, and the music was catchy. One of their hits 'I'm a Believer' was written by Neil Diamond of all people

    “ I’m a bereaver” seems more suitable

    And you accuse me of Dad jokes. Anyway, you still got an upvote.

    Dick Dale just died aged 81.

    Poor bugger had to keep touring in order to pay for various cancer and diabetes treatments apparently.

    I think you'll all agree what a wicked player he was, the live version of this in particular is a fucken banger. RIP.

    it's a shame he's not more of a household name, he should be, speaking as a miso this track is tough to play well.

    Scott Walker died yesterday. Famously the star of the record with the most humble title ever released: Fire Escape in the Sky: The Godlike Genius of Scott Walker.

    An enigmatic and troubled man. RIP.

    Ranking Roger lost his battle with C.

    In the spirit of the current political bullshit maybe a remake of this with a title change to 'Stand down Theresa' is in order?

    I'm sure it was a very powerful message but by golly that was painful to listen to.

    Just heard this. Boyz was a terrific film and even my 13 year old son is a massive fan. Shaft was also damn cool. Still relatively young as well. A genuine cinematic pioneer and someone who deserves all the plaudits.

    Yeah, bit of a shock. I also forgot how young he was when he directed Boyz in the Hood.

    Apparently the TV show he was running, Snowfall, is pretty good. I keep meaning to watch it and never get round to it so may give it a go now.

    Great innings for a Giant. Those blokes usually don’t last too long. Apparently his audition for Chewie involved him standing up....

    Glad they edited out his voice though.
