Dead Celebrity (Part 1)

Stevie Nicks closed out the first show of her tour with a tribute to Christine McVie.

She broke down at the end. Based on the photo montage they must have been really close.

Perhaps with Phil Spector, who Blake apparently advised?

I know what you mean. I also thought he was found guilty and I live in LA County. I attribute this to my steadfast refusal to follow any celebrity criminal (or civil) trials and remain blissfully ignorant.

Not the major person who this song calls to mind, but it might be appropriate music:

And the bridge, usually done by Buckingham, done in McVie style, on the piano. What a great way to contextualize the tribute. Damn.

Anton Fier. This is from last Sept. (If this was earlier in the thread, I missed it.) I got a lot of mileage out of the Golden Palominos’ Visions of Excess.

I am glad he was able to leave on his own terms. :heart:

The Daily Mail was not as hateful as now, in the 1970s (but was always suspect) but - well, my parents took it, and Flook was always one of the first things I turned to.

Holy crap, he died of side effects of an antibiotic.

A few years ago an oral surgeon cracked my jaw during a tooth extraction, I was given cipro for a few weeks. That killed off all the good bacteria in my gut and I ended up with C Dif. That was some nasty stuff that required a trip to a specialist and a $600 antibiotic.

Everyone knew the possible side effects but me.

You never know what’s going to get you.

The Food and Drug Administration issued a warning in 2016 regarding the use of fluoroquinolone in treating “less serious” bacterial infections due to disabling side effects associated with it. Warning labels were also updated in 2013 to include the potentially irreversible nerve damage from the drug.

Consumers might be most familiar with Cipro, a brand name variation of quinolone antibiotics.
