A lot of heroes of our lifetime gone this year. Leonard Nimoy, Stephen Lewis (Blakey) and now Lemmy. Depressing really but that is life....and death. Happy new year. Kind of makes me hope there might be an afterlife. I met Leonard Nimoy, I worked for Blackwells when he was doing his Book signing tour. Really intelligent and surprisingly funny man. Got to spend quite a bit of time with him, as I was the only smoker in the store. Sometimes smoking pays off. There isn't. Lucky man meeting the legend. I did once get within feet of Shatner and Patrick Stewart plus the rest of the cast at the premier of "Generations" and that was quite a thrill for an old Trekkie like me. Well there might be now that Lemmy is dead I can't see him being the kind of guy that would put up with that.

I'd recommend the recentish documentary 'Lemmy' - saw it about a year ago. I imagine it'll be rescreened as a tribute. To be fair, parts of it portrayed him as a somewhat pitiful man in his later years (I don't think it was the films intentions, maybe more my interpretation) but his warmth and vunerability were obvious. Lots of great stories too (you couldn't take lsd for two days in a row coz it didn't work on the second day - but we discovered, if you doubled the dose, it did!). He was fanatical about Little Richard. Very fascinating though. RIP Lemmy.
In the meantime, here's James Last's unforgettable version of Silver Machine: [Link]

Mind you, I like the idea of a bubblegum pink shirt and tie. Very fetching.
If you come to a fork in the road, take it. |
