Richard Wright died at 65
Richard Wright, a founder member of Pink Floyd, has died at the age of 65 after battling cancer.
David Gilmour pays tribute to Pink Floyd's Rick Wright
No one can replace Richard Wright. He was my musical partner and my friend.
In the welter of arguments about who or what was Pink Floyd, Rick's enormous input was frequently forgotten.
He was gentle, unassuming and private but his soulful voice and playing were vital, magical components of our most recognised Pink Floyd sound.
I have never played with anyone quite like him. The blend of his and my voices and our musical telepathy reached their first major flowering in 1971 on 'Echoes'. In my view all the greatest PF moments are the ones where he is in full flow. After all, without 'Us and Them' and 'The Great Gig In The Sky', both of which he wrote, what would 'The Dark Side Of The Moon' have been? Without his quiet touch the Album 'Wish You Were Here' would not quite have worked.
In our middle years, for many reasons he lost his way for a while, but in the early Nineties, with 'The Division Bell', his vitality, spark and humour returned to him and then the audience reaction to his appearances on my tour in 2006 was hugely uplifting and it's a mark of his modesty that those standing ovations came as a huge surprise to him, (though not to the rest of us).
Like Rick, I don't find it easy to express my feelings in words, but I loved him and will miss him enormously.

The Stray Cats
The Stray Cats are a rockabilly band formed in 1979 by Brian Setzer, Lee Rocker, and Slim Jim Phantom on Long Island, New York. They were mainly inspired by Bill Haley & the Comets as well as the sounds of Sun Records artists from the 1950s.
They're currently on tour and they'll stop for one date in Belgium (8th September) but it's already sold out!
I need tickets !
“Rockabilly was more than the blues. It had style. It had an outfit you could wear with it and a haircut and a dance you could do. It's flamboyant, tough and colourful. All the elements were right for us to fall in love with.”
— Brian Setzer
Rock This Town, Rockability Rules, I Fought The Law, Runaway Boys, Blue Suede Shoes, Stray Cat Strut, Rumble In Brighton, Come on Everybody !

Tom Petty
Thomas Earl Petty (born October 20, 1950) is an American singer, songwriter, and guitarist who is the frontman of Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers.
His interest in rock and roll music began at age 11 when he met Elvis Presley.
Petty has been supported by his band, The Heartbreakers, for the majority of his career. He has occasionally released solo work, as is the case with 2006's Highway Companion. However, members of The Heartbreakers have played on each of his solo albums and the band has always backed him when touring in support of those albums.
Some great songs to listen over and over....
I won't back down, Running down a dream, Free Fallin', American girl, Learning to fly,...
And the amazing performance for the Super Bowl.

John Mellencamp
John Mellencamp: American rock singer-songwriter, musician and occasional actor born on 1951 - october 7th.
John Mellencamp was born in Indiana. He joined a soul band named "Crepe Soul" and served as one of two lead singers in the group.
In 1971 he formed a short-lived cover band called "Trash."
At age 24, Mellencamp, determined to break into the music business, traveled to New York City and signed on with agent Tony DeFries of MainMan Management (at the time well-known for representing David Bowie). DeFries insisted that Mellencamp`s first album, Chestnut Street Incident, a collection of covers and derivative originals, be released under the stage name Johnny Cougar, a move Mellencamp claims was made without his knowledge and against his will. The album was a failure, and Mellencamp lost his contract with MCA Records.
He signed to the tiny Riva Records label and recorded 1978`s A Biography. This was unreleased in the United States, but yielded a hit in Australia, "I Need a Lover". Riva Records added this track to his next album, John Cougar (1979) and it became a #28 single in November 1979. Rocker Pat Benatar recorded "I Need a Lover" on her debut album In the Heat of the Night, and her version garnered some FM radio airplay, but it was not issued as a single in the United States.
In 1980, Mellencamp returned with Nothin` Matters And What If It Did, which yielded the Top 40 singles "This Time" (#27) and "Ain`t Even Done With The Night" (#17). In 1982 Mellencamp released his breakthrough album, American Fool (see 1982 in music). The hit singles "Hurts So Good," which spent four weeks at #2, and "Jack and Diane," which was #1 for four weeks, sent the album to the top of the charts. A third single, "Hand To Hold On To," made #19 and was a staple in his concerts throughout the 1980s. Additionally, "Hurts So Good" spent 16 weeks in the Top Ten (more than any other single in the 1980s) and "Jack and Diane" is, to date, Mellencamp`s only single to top the Billboard pop chart.
On March 10, 2008, John Mellencamp will be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, along with Madonna, Leonard Cohen, The Ventures, and The Dave Clark Five.

Bob Marley
Bob Marley (1945 – 1981) was a Jamaican singer-songwriter. In spite of dying nearly three decades ago he is the most widely known performer of ska/reggae music, and is credited for helping spread Jamaican music to the worldwide audience. 
The compilation album, Legend (1984) is the best-selling reggae album ever.
Best known songs: One love, I shot the Sheriff, No woman no cry, Jamming, Is this love... and my favorite for the moment: Buffalo Soldier.
This kind of music is completely different from what I'm used to listen but it's damned very good and so cool! It feels like summertime.

Elliott James Murphy (born March 16, 1949 in New-York) is an American rock singer-songwritter, novelist, producer and journalist living in Paris, France.
I discovered him thanks to the Boss (Bruce Springsteen) in the 90's. They're friends and sometimes Bruce invites him onstage to play together!

His next album "Notes From The Underground" will be released in March 2008. Had the chance to hear 2 of 3 songs during the concert for Classic21. It sounds very good! Can't wait!....
