Iain Cobby… On this day twenty years ago, my Hero, John Alec Entwistle 57, pass away in a hotel in America . God speed you brilliant bass man! Thunder Fingers and The Ox also the quite man of The Who. much missed. Never surpassed.

Dave Nattress… You know what at The Conquest this morning for a blood test the nurse called “Who’s Next” (‘‘twas me) so I jumped up and said “the Who’s greatest album” – my personal favourite etc. and she didn’t blink an eye.  And some fell on stony ground old friend! Catch up one day!

Colin Bell… RIP some great times were certainly had over many years.

  1. Nice tribute Iain. A favourite of mine too. At least he died a rock and roll death but taken too soon.
