RIP Keith Emerson
RIP Keith Emerson
"He died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head, Santa Monica police confirmed to the BBC."
I wonder why
I wonder why
I thought I knew more than this until I opened my mouth
RIP Keith Emerson
What a terrible moment.
His contributions to music through ELP are monumental but I still have a couple of Nice albums which I play moderately loudly on occasion. The Five Bridges was ground-breaking and introduced an entire genre, and I enjoy Thoughts - where else would you find a lead singer like that - much as I enjoy Stockhausen, having acquired a taste for both.
I've headed "greatest album of all time" lists with Tarkus for decades.

Nullius in verba ... ☎||||||||||| ... To Fate I sue, of other means bereft, the only refuge for the wretched left.
When flower power came along I stood for Human Rights, marched around for peace and freedom, had some nooky every night - we took it serious.
Who has a spare two minutes to play in this month's FG Trivia game! ... My other OS is Slackware.

He was also responsible for introducing lots of classical music into rock, one of the first to do so.
