Reminds me of the “does anyone believe America wasn’t racist before Trump?” reasoning

No…nobody believes that but that he allowed racism out into the open for new generations? Sure… I would concede that

:(  this was nice to see…their just-released The Makarrata Project, which debuted at No. 1 in the Australian chart the day before his death.
I'm sure it was nice to have some jubilation before his passing

While not the original bass player for the band, he was there for Blue Sky Mining onwards..  and what an interesting career playing with early Aussie and NZ punk bands and when the band was on hiatus moving to Nashville to do session work.

The joy and elation that Saturday brought was quickly flattened yesterday for me, when I received news that a long time colleague and friend (early 40's, I think) had died in a freak accident.

Fucking 2020 be gone.

She died in April. Nothing funny about breast cancer.

Holy crap, I thought I read last night that she just died.  I hate when I do that.  Sorry.  Though breast cancer is not funny, when the person who ruined your life for the rest of your life, dies . . . there is a high probability that you laugh yourself to sleep.
