Another artist with a strong Detroit connection  :'(

Hillard "Sweet Pea" Atkinson, the fedora-wearing vocalist for Was (Not Was), has died at the age of 74.

The singer was known for hits including Walk The Dinosaur and Spy In The House Of Love, and also performed with Bob Dylan, Bonnie Raitt and Iggy Pop.

My daughter's favorite song is, "Walk the Dinosaur." RIP.

Florian Schneider

Probably my favorite obit yet:

https://www.npr.org/2020/05/07/852081716/how-florian-schneider-and-kraftwerk-created-pops-future

good stuff

Kraftwerk operated within pop, yet remained somehow apart and above. When, in 1975, Lester Bangs jocularly enquired what kind of groupies Kraftwerk got, Schneider sternly snapped: "None. There is no such thing." He and Hütter's idea of rock star excess was buying lots of bicycles and taking up long distance cycling (sometimes racing between cities on tours).

Like that guy who survived Hiroshima, then fled to Nagasaki to recover. (Survived that too!)

Really sucks even if we half expected it


One of the few true original founding greats of rock and roll

Maybe the last one left...
