Really…you don't think 95% of the people here know who Peter Tork is (I suspect James Ford and his family have no idea)
can anyone who never heard of Peter Tork, please comment here ;)
Did not know who he was until the headlines said he passed.

I checked and checked but didn't see anything listed afterwards. I'm not 30 yet and I still was too tired to stay after after 3. I assume it was a DJ. Ty and White Fence were really good but had a short set. Tim Hecker is always my go-to since he doesn't play DC.


Generational divide.

Man, I was so hoping you were referring to the disgraced, former Michigan State Athletic Director but it appears you mean the Talk Talk guy.

That would suck


He seemed to fade to the firmament


Isn’t it a pity?

I had no idea Mark Hollis/Talk Talkwas such a musician’s musician, I always enjoyed listening to material, just had no idea they were also influential.  I guess if one is going to totally leave the music business, leave a very solid back catalogue

Same here. They played a nice tribute to him on KEXP this morning. Definitely made me appreciate them more, even though I was only half listening at work.

Just curious, how long did the Cure have a Black member?

Thanks. I was curious and looked it up. Had no idea.

I saw them at the Worcester Centrum in 1987 and then Wembley Arena in 1989. Didn't see a Black guy but had such nosebleeds (and was so inebriated for the second show) that I didn't see much at all anyway. I guess he was out before I ever saw them.
