I said hello to Ms Albright as I walked past her in Georgetown while she was gardening in front of her house

did she then impose sanctions upon you and your entire hometown?

i think things would be different if women ruled the world.. especially if they were all mothers. but there's plenty of female psychopaths out there as well so over time i think the same type of troubles would happen.  just look at some of the idiots america elects.. not that any of them could be elected president...  

also, what about lepenn in france? isn't she a far right white supremacist style leader?

I tell her it doesn't matter. the type of person that seeks that kind of power is going to be nuts no matter the gender

that sux. i hate hearing about people my age who die suddenly. but yeah, sux for those dudes. they seemed like a tight group. 

[YEK]

Fuck, that's horrible

[Zephyr_Nova]

Damn.  That one's quite unexpected.  Wonder what happened.

[Rubin Farr]

Terrible loss, was just watching this yesterday

FF produced several anthems for my teen years, all of which were driven by his energetic drumming. RIP.

Yeah, not a massive Foo fan, though I don’t hate them like some people, and I don’t listen to ‘rock’ radio where they might get overplayed and tiresome. Bit gutted and mystified to hear this.

First five Foos albums are all top notch in my book.  Couldn't ask for a better pop rock album than Colour and the Shape (though that one's all Grohl for drums).  The pressure on any drummer backing him is immense.  Hawkins was as solid as they come, no doubt.  Seemed like a super nice dude too.

What's Bogata famous for?

Bogotá is Colombia’s sprawling, high-altitude capital. La Candelaria, its cobblestoned center, features colonial-era landmarks like the neoclassical performance hall Teatro Colón and the 17th-century Iglesia de San Francisco. It's also home to popular museums including the Museo Botero, showcasing Fernando Botero's art, and the Museo del Oro, displaying pre-Columbian gold pieces.

Are you implying he died by swallowing pre-Columbia gold pieces?  Respect, if so.

[marf]

No, Snorting lots of coke

[Zephyr_Nova]

Psssh.  No rock star would ever do that.

first 3, I'd say. I kind of tuned out after that. Colour & Shape is their defining album imo.

Colour and Shape is without a doubt their best work, but give One By One another shot.  So many excellent rock out moments on there.  I think Grohl was really inspired by his time with QotSA on that one.

*first 4 FF albums are gold.  In Your Honour was a'ight.  Rest has been mixed for me, but good songs on all, no doubt.

Seems as though a number of different drugs were found in his system
