I never knew there was a specific person I needed to be thankful for for giving me some of the best times in high school, at least the times I remember because there was a lot of liquor and pot involved.

We lived at the midnight movies in the late 70s and early 80s.

Oh boy. I never knew who he was, but what an impact. When I was 13-14 we’d sneak out to see the midnight movies at a theater near the San Diego Sports Arena. Quadrophenia, Tommy, Heavy Metal, The Kids Are Alright, The Holy Grail, Eraserhead, and all manner of Kung Fu movies. The later the Wall and RHPS. What an impact that all had on me.

[I could go on forever, but I’m crying now. I have to break this news to Mr. Kidd in the morning, and there will be more crying.]

Not to take any glory away from Hawkins, but this doesn’t have to mean the end for the Foo Fighters…

I saw this last night and goddamn, what a waste of a great talent and by all accounts a great human.

This is a good reminder to everyone: sometime in your late 40s to early 50s, your body will let you know what type of medical issue is likely to kill you. Hopefully you don’t get a ‘widowmaker’, but rather just enough of a scare that you start to take care of yourself, including getting regular testing and engaging in preventative care.

Sadly, for Taylor, it was likely drugs that would kill him and his warning sign was when a dealer gave him a hot shot of heroin and he od’d on it. Now, fastforward years later, and … well… addiction is a medical condition :frowning:

Poor Dave and the rest of Foo Fighters. I had heard they were close.

Can confirm. That age range, multiple DVTs. I’m lucky to be alive.
