I don't think Vivian Westwood has been mentioned here, who died at age 81.

When I think of her I think of her wild ideas but then someone posted this the other day and I realized that Ms Westwood had a career before she went full "bohemian".



May she RIP

This is what she is known for though...

I knew I had seen this picture and I finally found it again.

Jeff Beck, without a doubt one of the finest guitar players of the rock era, has died.
He stands with a few others in the serious contention for #2 as the best guitar player of all time. He was truly special. RIP.

Well I had to google some lists to see where he would rank. Not sure what the Best one to go by was, but Rolling Stone has it Hendrix/Clapton/Page/Richards/Beck.

I was a little surprised to see Keith Richards #4

Clapton at #2. A guy that plays just one chord.
Well, everybody to his own taste.

I don't get that? I don't know him as a one chord player? I mean the most well known song is Layla of course which I wouldn't call a one chord song :)

Definitely gone too soon. Her cause of death is breast cancer. I didn't remember her name like the other supermodels of that time, but her face is very recognizable and I easily remember her from the Freedom video.

Like many children of 'celebrities', Lisa Marie Presley had a troubled life... Addiction issues, several marriages and divorces... a son who committed suicide...
It's very sad that she died without experiencing peace and happiness in her life.
