Mike Peters
(Unconfirmed but being reported)
just a short while ago it looked like he'd beat it yet again
His show at the State is a fond memory for me
One of the first bands I saw live (Stonybrook university of all places)
never knew this, but probably good they decided to change the name
started band The Toilets in Rhyl in 1977, after seeing the Sex Pistols play in Chester.

I interviewed Mike close to 30 years ago…he was doing a show at the Bayou, and I spent a lot of time with him in his dressing room. He was one of the most alive, vibrant, and kind human beings I've ever met. If you met that guy, he had an immediate and lasting impact on you. He was the real deal. Loved life, loved what he did, and never once seemed ungrateful for a moment of any of it. All these years later, I still remember wondering how someone could be so put together, but also authentic. Because to me that was what struck me…it wasn't an act. That's just who he was. It didn't matter I was a writer for a college paper. He just wanted to make me feel like I was welcome to hang with him and chat. So this does make me very sad. A friend's 23-year-old daughter died last week. And an old school 9:30 employee has terminal brain cancer…I'm just feeling like there's a lot of stuff happening that doesn't seem fair or just. It sucks.

A short rush of nostalgia for me when seeing him perform at a benefit at Pearl Street in early 2019 since – besides that '95 Bayou show – it had been close to thirty years since the heyday of the band. Great, great memories of him from that era.
Didn’t realize he died from lymphoma
The Alarm for a while seemed ready to conquer the world. A new U2. It didn’t happen. They just plateaued. Same kind of happened with Big Country although I never thought of them as U2-like.

As I recall, in late 1987 there was a ton of prime new (or newish) music from the eras heaviest hitters - U2 Joshua Tree, New Order Substance, Cure Kiss Me Kiss Kiss Me, INXS Kick, REM Document, Smiths Strangeways, Depeche Mode Music for the Masses etc
. . . And the Alarm’s Rain in the Summertime may have been the best song of the time at the time.

Damn, why does it always have to be an obscure musician and not a prominent politician or one of their fascist staffers?

Her oeuvre always resonated with me deeply as a child of the 90s who has also kissed a girl.

I went to her IG page where 48 hrs ago she was posting about a bad back/sciatica which then takes my mind to thinking she was trapped and/or couldn't move to get out of the fire.
