Pain, or damage, don't end the world. Or despair, or fucking beatings. The world ends when you're dead. Until then, you got more punishment in store. Stand it like a man, and give some back. - Al Swearengen, Deadwood.

Been a fan since 'Can't Buy a  Thrill' and still listen to them often - true originals: The Royal Scam is my favourite.

He'll be missed by those who liked their rock to have a jazz element included.

one of those weird things in our new world of communications. First saw the announcement from Ian McNabb of The Icicle Works, and then a lit about it being a hoax because there were a couple of internet death hoax flurries during August. Then 2 hrs later the confirmation. Second time this has happened in the last month.

Who?
"That bloke over there, out of Ultravox, is really childish."
"Him? Midge Ure?"

Reelin in the Years, Do it Again, Ricki don't lose that number.

3 of many reasons why that band was brilliant.

Sad loss.
