Who could pass up mentioning the unexpected death of Prince yesterday at the age of 57? Original, unique, talented, a funk innovator, .... Sadly found unresponsive in an elevator at his compound in the greatly-named Paisley Park in Minnesota. I'm happy to say he lived in Canada for a while with his Canadian wife. He was in declining health they say and had a hard time in his last American performances before cancelling Atlanta. He was here in Montreal for a surprise night of two shows a few weeks ago, and you have to wonder too if like Bowie, he just knew. People in Montreal saw nothing wrong. Whatever he died of, it won't be long since the autopsy is today but while the mystery still lingers, it's just tragic that it should happen so early on. Then again most music legends are cut down but live on. I knew people who were bigger fans than me, but I could appreciate his music. Now it has an ethereal feel to it. Rest in peace, Prince. www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2016/04/22/prince-tributes-pour-in-for-star-after-his-death-at-57/ |

So sad. Johnny Hallyday passed away. The king of French rock. I used to follow him on IG. Great love story with Leticia and the girls. He'll be missed.

France Gall now, gone at 70 from cancer. All your childhood music era slowly going. Sad. RIP.

Moody Blues guy ... I recall having to enlist my oldest brother and his GF to take me to Moody Blues concerts as a child. So sad. Someone please check on Pat Benatar and Bruce Springsteen or ill go in a funk soon.

Sadder now is the personal legacy of Johnny Halliday, and the differences between California and French law. Mind you, I always thought the surviving widow stood first in line... fr.news.yahoo.com/cousteau-hepburn-ventura-famille-hallyday-111838690.htmlFor families that are already strained, this never helps. That's when supportive or imaginative mates are so crucial to avoid the abysmal pull of some family dynamics. I'm familiar with it, but cannot count on anyone. I echo Leticia's internal scream, no doubt. She's hardly to blame. So sad. Johnny Hallyday passed away. The king of French rock. I used to follow him on IG. Great love story with Leticia and the girls. He'll be missed. |

Finally a live one! Cyndi Lauper made many Québécois happy last night at our epic FEQ music festival. This is my favourite song by her: m.youtube.com/watch?v=svHeFdSvPL0 |

Oh to have been there at Glastonbury! Paul McCartney & Bruce Springsteen!! Full stop. Crowds are a no-no for me 😩 or I'd have been to see my fave 😘 Clara Luciani last week and would plan to see the pope also. (His joints will feel much better in cool QC city and Ste Anne de Beaupré can cook up a miracle, easily btw). www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10954135/BBC-accused-butchering-historic-Paul-McCartney-Glastonbury.htmlAhhh Québec city and Paul McCartney - an absolute, perfect outdoor concert 👌🏻 that was for the 400th. Hundreds of thousands, and total bliss. As a child, I'd make others buy me Wings LPs. I still have one, I'm certain. The soundtrack to pristine times. And Bruce 🤌🏼 Bruce & The River album I must have worn down from blocking out the world on earphones and listening to this operatic album. I'm still reading Born to Run, very slowly I know, because every chapter is a staged scene with a million things unsaid and electric words. You need recovery time. |
