A couple of years ago, it became obvious that we were entering an era where music fans were increasingly going to be sad…that’s because our musical heroes are shuffling off this mortal coil.It really hit hard in 2016—that was a bad year with the deaths of David Bowie and Prince—that really brought home the unfortunate reality that we will continue to lose people who have been making music for us for years, maybe decades.We didn’t necessarily know any of these people personally…but it was through their music that learned something about ourselves…so when they die, a little bit of us might go with them.I think it’s important that we remember those musicians who have passed on…that’s why we have this annual look at who died…we need to honour the work of these musicians and music people…and with so many of them going, we at the very least need to remember that they did indeed pass away.This is the 2024 “In Memoriam” show…grab yourself a box of tissues.Songs in this episode:Kate Bush - Running Up That HillThe MC5 - Kick Out The JamsMojo Nixon and Skid Roper - Elvis is EverywhereWorld Party - Ship of FoolsThe Raspberries - Go All The WayNirvana - Heart-Shaped BoxThe Selector - On My RadioCrazy Town - ButterflyGreg Kihn Band - The Break-Up SongMy Chemical Romance - Welcome to the Black Parade Learn more about your ad choices.
