    I still remember watching the 1994 NBA finals and ESPN interrupted the live coverage to show the chase of the Ford Bronco.

    Same here - was pretty surreal, I had no idea who he was at the time. Wasn’t even a decent bloody car chase, he was dribbling down the freeway the selfish prick, I just wanted to watch the ball!

    Dickey Betts, the singer, songwriter, and guitarist of the Allman Brothers Band whose piercing solos, beloved songs and hell-raising spirit defined the band and Southern rock in general, died Thursday morning at the age of 80. The cause was cancer and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, Betts’ manager David Spero confirmed to Rolling Stone.

    Some lovely guitar in this track. Just beautiful stuff.

    Southern Rock was so cool.

    RIP, thanks for the music

    Terry Hill dies aged 52

    Hill made 246 first-grade appearances during spells at Manly, Wests Tigers, Western Suburbs, Eastern Suburbs and Souths.

    I remember this guy well. Tough and skilful. Won a Grand final with Ridge, Toovey, Hopoate, Menzies ( geez I knew my league back then )

    RIP. Too young.

    @MN5 geez, I'm surprised how young he was! Feel like he shoulda been ten years older.

    RIP Paul Auster.

    The Music of Chance was very good, though kind of infuriating.

    Pretty damn good in everything I ever saw him in…..

    I really liked him as the captain in Titanic, the likeness to the real life counterpart was amazing.

    RIP
