33 years ago, tragic news in the rock n roll world
Discussion
Yes, almost 33 years to the day, the tragic news was announced that Alex Harvey from the sensational Alex Harvey Band had decided that day in October 1977 to retire from the world of rock and roll. This tragic news was announced by Pete Drummond in a 'simulcast' on the BBC.
I had so wanted to see Alex Harvey that night, and at short notice had to make do with some unknown band from Australia. Tres Bon.

But really who gives a st and it doesn't matter. Tragic if you knew him or are related to him, but it really isn't "important" is it? We revere music stars with far too much importance, if it wasn't them it would be som-one else - there's always the latest "hero".
There is a part of me that thinks you might have just missed the point of the original post unless my sarcasm receptors are wearing out?.Shame, I rather like the SAHB

He was crap then,and he is still crap Now
It was like entering the Willie Wonka chocolate factory, only to be told Willie had retired that day. I think Pete could have handled the news a bit more delicately. Especially bearing in mind the onslaught that was to come from this ACDC lot.
I agree tragedy may have been too strong a word in the sense that he had not died, perhaps travesty would have been more appropriate. Carpe diem.
