RIP the Casbah...

really is sad and even more sad because I don't have the feeling that anyone is taking his place. Everytime a real rock star dies it feels like we are closer to a time when boy b(l)ands are considered classic rock.

Sarah, as a big fan of The Who, I was more than a little weirded out that the band didn't skip a beat when John Entwistle died in Las Vegas. They took one day off I think before carrying on.

yes, I guess when you have been rocking all your life it is hard to just stop.

So, this year we lost two Ramones, a who, and a clash..anymore?

Yes a very sad day.

As a tribute, VH1 re-ran it's "25 Years Of Punk" special.

I feel really old when music I like and grew up on is getting played on VH1...

Great program though, covering the old schoolers like The DeadBoys, Sex Pistols, Ramones, Clash and Stooges up through the 80's thrash hardcore movement to the "grunge era"

I only wish they had made it a 2 hour program to focus a little more in depth....I'd like to have seen more on Richard Hell, Television, DRI, GHB and some of the others that migrated into some of the 80's hybrid bands that had punk aggression with thrash metal riffs and just pure energy and anger...
