Another one of my musical idols gone. Cancer is a bastard of a disease. Greg may you rest in peace and perpetual light to shine on you.
Poingnant post mateRIP Greg Lake. Met him after a gig 11 years ago at a very empty Newcastle City Hall. Had a drink with him and he talked very candidly about his life. A nice humble man. Very generous and kind. His music is what got me started on this life's obsession. His music was the last I heard in before going deaf in one ear and was the music played at the funeral of the baby I lost. A sad year for losses but this to me is my saddest. His music has been there in key moments in my life and every Christmas... I am not sure I believe in Father Christmas anymore...
Apologies from captain pedantic but isn't it Mr Jagger who has popped one out?As Greg Lake checks out at 69, I read Keith Richards has just pupped another at 73.
Rock and Roll eh?
RIP GL, tho am not really an EL&P fan, its a damn good Christmas tune he made, that will have kept him well sorted with royalties over the subsequent years
One of THE best Christmas singles;
To be honest, I've never really given it a lot of thought; I just thought it was a bloody good song. Also, I didn't actually say it was about Christmas. I said it was a Christmas single, which it was.Is it a song about Christmas? I've always thought it was about human gullibility.
