  Musicians Who Died in the Last Year - or Through the Years- Who Do you Miss Most ?

  i think for me in the last year the death of david bowie got to me the most.

  not only in the way he handled his demise so classy by even making a song about it and a you tube about dying and sharing it with fans, but just his whole persona i always thought was pretty cool.

  plus i enjoyed a good many of his songs.

  I bought my wife, my son and I tickets to see Elton John in concert this November.

  Whats that got to do with this thread? Well it's my way of introducing " DAVID ACKLES"

  Who is " DAVID ACKLES" ?

  Well according to Elton John, Elvis Costello, and Jerry Garcia amoung others "David ACKLES" was a genius, singer/ song writer . Therefore may I suggest you listen to " Loves Enough" by " David ACKLES" who sadly passed away being appreciated only by his wife a few fans and those that are talented enough to appreciate genius.

  P.S. This lady also served " Marianne Joan Elliot-Said " July 1957 death Apri 2011) best known by the name Poly Styrene, and founder of X-Ray Spex....yes in 1977 great music was more enthusiasm than talent, and Punk Rock ruled...Poly in her later years became a Hara- Kristina and died of breast cancer at 53.

  "Wonderful life" By Black. ( born May 62, death January 2016)

  (Chorus)

  Look at me standing

  Here on my own again

  Up straight in the sunshine

  No need to run and hide

  Its a wonderful wonderful life

  No need to laugh and cry

  Its a wonderful, wonderful life.

  ............ maybe a one hit wonder, so I mention " Black" who died in a car crash earlier this year. I also think if you like the song " Wonderful life" get the Album, it's all rather impressive and difficult to understand why he never became a huge star.

  Who is your favorite thinker pt 2.

  once upon a time i started a thread who is your favorite thinker and got many responses.

  however revisiting that thread i noted we were to modest to name ourselves or fellow posters.

  i therefore think we are either complete idiots, or modesty aside we should now name names, and restrict our answers to posters on the board.. so who on this board is your favorite thinker and why?.

  The 1975 Generation---are they still around?

  i was raised as a jw and 1975 expectations were pretty intense.

  as i recall, most people did not leave after the failed expectations but many s l o w e d down.

  now, i think most of the 1975 witnesses are gone or barely in.. is the older generation still around in the kingdom halls or are they much gone?.

  Those that don't know what they are doing there are still around. Those that don't reason are still around. Those that don't take the consequences of still being around are still around. Those that are losers are still around.

  Simon " We also don't know don't yet know the long term effect as companies take or avoid investment decisions due to the uncertainty, lack of access to EU market ect..."

  The Rebel. ( A) But we do know business people always put business interest ahead of a nations sovereignty and Richard Branson is showing his true " tax exile" colors now. Money and profit should never replace democracy, accept the decision Richard Branson.

  Otherwise it's like saying we should have a vote to replay the game against island yesterday?

  p.s England the only country to leave the Euros twise in a week.
