Musician, played keyboards, guitar, bass, some drums, multi-talented. First rose to prominence as the keyboard player in Mike Scott's Waterboys, a behind the scenes supporter and studio helper for Sinead O'Connor when she was making her first album, and later pretty much the only full-time member in the band World Party.

Probably would be best known as the writer and original performer of She's The One, later recorded and finding huge success for Robbie Williams.

An immensely talented man.

A man whose musical influences ran from the Beatles and Dylan, to Prince, sometimes perhaps a little too obviously, but this is a stellar cover.

 
He was a shlockmeister to the nth degree later in his career, but this is as perfect an example of power pop as there is. A two line verse and then straight to the hook.

The scruffy look doesn't hurt him here either.

Yeah, I hope he was a strong swimmer.

This is what every HS band in my hometown tried to sound like when I was growing up. Music created and performed by 18-year olds solely to get laid by 16-year olds. The essence of rock and roll. Such a wonderful combination of pure fun and just terrible.

Ugh. My mom had to put her dog down today. 13 years old. Slipped a couple discs and was in pretty bad pain. Pretty broken up this evening. My mom will get better but she lives alone and that dog has been with her for as long as she's been living by herself.

super sad because they just figured out why she was having weight issues and she had shed a ton of weight. She looked great and my mom was super excited to have a "young" dog again. Just devastating.

Really sorry to hear that.

We have a Westie that turned 14 last December. He has diabetes and is mostly blind and deaf.

We are treating the diabetes and if we can keep it under control our vet will ok cataract surgery. Nothing can be done about his hearing.

Interestingly enough aside from the fact he no longer tries to chase birds nor feels it necessary to bark at fireworks, he's the same happy go lucky boy that still acts like a puppy. At this point we feel lucky for every new day that we still have him, but I don't look forward to when it's his time. He's been alive for more than half of the lives of the kids and we almost always take him with us on vacation, including when we go to Thailand every year.
