RIP to Ronnie Hayward. This is at CIUT back in 2010 when he was living in Toronto. He didn't drive so he used to get to gigs taking his doghouse bass on the bus and he even travelled that way all the way from BC as well as hitchhiking like a true Beatnik. 🎻

This looks like the start of once of those BBC Agatha Christie movies where they start bumping each other off to grab an inheritance until Susie Wiles is the last one left then she goes nuts and bumps herself off.

RIP Rob Reiner. Normally I'd post a scene from "Spinal Tap" but the ending of "Stand By Me" is more appropriate here;

RIP to Bernie Toorish of Toronto 50's vocal group the Four Lads. They were never slightly cool & unlike the Diamonds or even the Crewcuts they weren't even a Doo Wop group but they were the first Canadian group of the R&R era to score hits outside Canada.
