I met Rick a few times Leo and he was an absolute diamond geezer (and then some). I have stuck by Quo through thick and thin and some of the best memories I have involve Quo gigs. Rick was often likened to a "three chord wonder" but he was possibly the best rhythm guitarist of all time, he made it "look" easy but what he did was far from easy. A true rocker who saw shit come and go, different trends in music etc. but STILL managed to pack out venues across the world for FIFTY years! The Quo are pretty much the musical equivalent of Terry Wogan.... always been a part of our lives and always there for us..... a part of the family even.
Anybody who knows me knows I have had a life long passion for the hardcore Quo and Rick was the driving force behind the hardcore Quo. Francis and his "acoustic" Quo idea didn't go down too well with Rick but maybe it was Francis Rossi's friendly way of getting Rick to slow down...... I dunno.
The meat and bones of it is, One of the greatest rockers ever has gone up to the great gig in the sky and I, for one, miss him already.
Rock In Peace (RIP) Rick!

I remember in a couple of the Star Trek movies where Spock, logical to a fault, spoke about what it meant to be human. I think this man captured it.

What a shite year for celebrity death's it has been. Not just celebrities Chris.... my friend's 88 year old Mother in law went to Dunnet Head to sprinkle her late Husband's ashes and fell off the edge of the cliff. It's a good 450 foot drop so she basically was dead on impact That's an awful way to die and even worse on the family as they are blaming themselves for not being with her when she went to scatter the ashes. www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-highlands-islands-38189201

I have my will made up for the paltry few million I have. I'm giving it all to a hellfire right-wing preacher, who will send a DVD of his sermons to each of the otherwise "entitled", who are being excluded from the will. It's all legal. If I can, I'll have "Reverend Bob" send a personal message along with each DVD, where he personally admonishes each recipient to confess their sins and donate to his ministry.
