The Queen has died

I remember watching her Coronation on an old-fashioned black and white TV that my father bought especially for the occasion, and although I'm no Royalist, the Queen will be missed. We really have no one to replace her and I suspect that Royalty will fade into obscurity, although you boys will have Harry and Megan to keep you amused

The Punk day's for me was the bestest time ever.. It fitted perfectly 😁

everything.. the music, the people, the fashion😉 I'd been kicked out of home, & was learning the harsh reality of life's teachings😳 ...

The music of that era was also so very different, opening one's eye's (& ears)

to different styles too (thinking reggae & such like)... Oh them was the day's!!!

Re : royalties..!!

As i said earlier, not particularly enamored by them.. They don't really have any powers, all they are is abundantly clear by the media news..

(Human ...just like the rest of us)!!

@Dave Sutton ...sorry to hear of your big bill's.. Me too, & certainly not looking forward to future gas & electric bills either 😬

Hope you all have a nice weekend

Take care... C xx

Hold the phone! You're telling me that the royal family is human and not reptilian? 😝 Someone call David Icke!

As for Punk, perhaps you had to be there. I'm not a huge fan for a few reasons. For one, I think the Punk movement, even if unintentionally, paved the way for low information music such as hip hop and today's pop. Sure, technology played a part, but what you do with technology is highly based on your skill level as a musician.

Just checked the views on Giphy for this animation that I very quickly knocked up and it has had 7.5 million views

I've been away from the news since this morning when there was concern over her health. Sorry to see that she has passed away.

Wow! That's incredible news! Sad in some regards, yes. Just about anyone's passing is sad. Especially that of most celebrities (thinking specifically musicians here).

How is it that the UK does not have a "next in line"? Wouldn't one of the princes ascend to the throne?

I agree with that, and talking of princesses... A few years back, my daughter won a Miss Princess competition in a holiday camp and her photograph then won The Miss Princess competition for the whole year. Her prize was a free week's holiday for the family

I just thought of a gif idea.

The UK vs US:

You have Camilla and we have Kamala.

It was the best version of God save the Queen, I won't deny that, but a song that haunts me is "Walk on the wild side" by Lou Reed Just lately, been spending loads of Dosh, car needed attention, big bill at the dentist, television broke, energy bill arrived, and then the TV aerial packed up

Hi Corinne - Good to see you! I'm sure I've heard the song. I think I heard Robert Fripp's song with that title at one time, but it's been decades.

BTW, it might help to say that I'm not a huge fan of punk; though I do like many bands that rose from the ashes of that genre.
