THOSE WE HAVE LOST: Clive Burr (1957-2013)

The former Iron Maiden drummer passed away at his home last night (12 March) aged 56. Burr had been suffering with Multiple Sclerosis. His former bandmates have been quick to pay tribute, with Iron Maiden's Steve Harris saying: "Clive was a very old friend of all of us. He was a wonderful person and an amazing drummer who made a valuable contribution to Maiden in the early days when we were starting out."

...BECAUSE SOME OF US THINK THAT THIS STUFF IS IMPORTANT
What happens when you mix what is - arguably - the world's most interesting record company, with an anarchist manic-depressive rock music historian polymath, and a method of dissemination which means that a daily rock-music magazine can be almost instantaneous?

Most of this blog is related in some way to the music, books and films produced by Gonzo Multimedia, but the editor has a grasshopper mind and so also writes about all sorts of cultural issues which interest him, and which he hopes will interest you as well.
