Never hurts to ask, and makes sense from NZRU perspective, I think they would have preferred a succession-plan where the next AB head coach had served some sort of coaching capacity with the team rather than come in from “the cold.”

Mobsters convinced the Detroit Red Wings to play a team of prisoners, and it was a blowout

7” is going for a couple hundred bucks...

Auntie Rosemary, who at one time was a really big star (stage/screen/recordings).

Tell Aura I Love Her.

Virtual Chocolate fish for the first to identify the link between Hawkwind and the Blockheads.

Too easy. Sex and Drugs and Rock & Roll.

Holyshit, Pete Shelley died. 63 years old. Top bloke. Saw him (Buzzcocks) numerous times. Always liked how he would spend hours after every show meeting fans.

Rest In Peace.

James Jamerson, Jaco Pastorius, Bernard Edwards, Bootsy Collins, Paul Chambers, Ron Carter.... and although it wasn’t his primary instrument, Jimi Hendrix could shred most rock bassists under the table. I’ve seen Stanley Clarke many times, but not in the past 25 years. He was pretty spectacular.

Edit: And how did I forget Miroslav Vitouš??? I’m sure there are many other great ones I can’t remember right now.

James Jamerson. Guarantee every ferner woulda heard his smooth grooves on at least one song given how awesome ( and prolific ) he was.

For all the hits he played on, he might be one of the least recognized big-name bandleaders in popular music history. Smokey Robinson was primarily responsible for the direction of the Motown style, but Jamerson gave them their sound. He’s amazing.

A 5-minute disco song with a 4-minute guitar solo - and it is glorious. Nile Rogers guitar here is sublime.

I have that record. Should pull it out sometime!
