Deeply saddened to hear that Jimmy Cliff has died at the age of 81.

A truly magnificent singer and performer. He started out as a teenager in the early 60s recording future classics like this...

RIP lion 🦁🙏

Pete Doherty. A blindspot by choice perhaps.
What is your biggest musical blindspot for someone precisely your age?

For me - an elder millennial - it is that I have never knowingly listened to INCUBUS, nor could I name even one of their songs if you put a gun to my head.
