Robbie popping off hasn't made my day. :(

I've played the Storyville and Robbie Robertson albums to death over the years. Used to rock my baby daughter to sleep playing Storyville.

Shit, bollocks and arseholes. Robbie Robertson's passing has really spoilt my day (and doubtless his, as well). I came late to The Band (mid-late 70s when I 'discovered' them), but they've been a constant ever since. The very best guitarists had/have something that made them immediately distinctive, and you could pick them out immediately. Robbie was one of them.

First Jeff Beck and now Robbie. Please no more for a while...

I had no idea who he was until I just played that.

He also then leant me The Last Waltz DVD which, I admit, I've still not got round to watching and is in a drawer somewhere

He texted me yesterday to tell me Rodruigez had died, and said we should re-watch the Sugarman film. Definitely, I said, next time you come round we'll watch it. And then we can watch that The Last Waltz DVD, he said, it'll be a cool double-bill.

Anyway, he then of course texted me first thing this morning about Robbie Robertson. Best not suggest anything else for a triple-bill...
Oh, I don't know. Any chance you could be a Sam Smith fan...

If you've never seen the film, you really ought to. And if you've never listened to his albums then you should do that as well.
Just checked and it's on YouTube. Gonna watch it tonight with the missus :)

I was gonna suggest Netflix, and I'm sure it was on there for years, but I did look earlier and think it's not anymore.

Within 5 seconds the missus said she'd seen it but happy to watch again.
After 10 mins I bailed out. Just a documentary with dull folk talking.

It assumed you knew a lot about him before you watched it. Fail.

Did you never watch TV until a few years ago? :D

Even in 625 'SD' days, that wasn't what you got to see. The top lines were for teletext, then they often 'overblanked' the rest.

Don't suppose it would've made the news if they'd died in their sleep or anything, but a gruesome death is always going to.
