    How does anyone process that?

    Three days, wish he'd had longer.

    Actually only 2. Diagnosed on the 26th.

    Somehow though , it fits for him. No time to get all freaked out etc. Time enough for one last bottle or two maybe make a few calls.

    Dude lived on his terms.

    I thought the same, mickeyrat. I hope he did not have to suffer long before either. His birthday was on the 24th, I think, too. He was a cool guy.

    Download the WTF app. Maron sat down with him a couple months ago. Pretty good interview with a bit of history of rock and roll lesson to boot.

    I saw a docu about him, LEMMY, a couple of months ago, too. It was pretty good.

    That answers my question of why my local music retailer were playing Motorhead yesterday. I found out later yesterday.

    Heard about this yesterday (posted in Other Music). Besides the better known Motorhead, Lemmy did great work previous to that with the mighty Hawkwind. Check out "Space Ritual Vol 1" and "Doremi Fasol Latido". Magnificent. Lemmy rocked the planet.

    R.I.P. Lemmy Kilmister.
    “The fear of death follows from the fear of life. A man [or woman] who lives fully is prepared to die at any time.”
    Variously credited to Mark Twain or Edward Abbey.
