Surfing options last night, watched Firefox. 80's cold war movie starring Clint Eastwood. hadn't seen it for years, quite enjoyed it.

Semi topical at the moment, glimpse into how the USSR operated, not dissimilar to Putin now.

I picked up a pirate DVD of Studio 666 this morning, the Foo Fighters horror movie.

See how Taylor Hawkins goes in this.

Pretty good bloke and very good drummer by all accounts, another one gone early.

Wasn’t a fan, couldn’t name a song, but I just saw footage of Phil Collins final gig with genesis, omg, no no no. I doubt he will be here much longer. 70.

How can I just let you walk away? Just let you leave without a trace?

What a voice, amazing songs,

Feeling very damn old right now with all these deaths

And yet that rolling stone that is Keith drunken druggie Richards keeps on breathing! Like my dad the devil can’t decide.

I wasn't a big fan, but I knew their songs when I heard them. Here's a couple you may know.

well done. I've only seen 4 of the top 10.

Apparently I must watch The Shawshank redemption before I die.

49 for me! I guess it's very Hollywood-oriented, needless to say, but there are quite a few there that I'd like to catch up with (Taxi Driver, Amadeus and Harold and Maude are a few that I'm long overdue to see).
