Robert Palmer

[querelle]

I just found out today that Robert Palmer is dead! I was told today that he died in 2003, but fuck........I don't read People magazine, so how was I to know? Listening to Secrets right now (Doctor Doctor). Queued up next is Clues and some stuff that he did with Power Station. Why didn't anybody tell me about this?!!!!!

Q

1. Has it been that long already

I thought it was only last year that he passed.

Sorry I did not tell you.

[Deja Q]

2. I loved his music... simply irresistable indeed.

He did die waaaay too young. :(

3. I Guess We Thought We Were Protecting You

by not telling you

but that really isn't ever the right thing to do!

:shrug:

Q, he's dead. He died of a heart attack I think. He died 3 years ago. Might as well face it.

4. Jeez, either I never knew that

or I had just forgotten.

Thanks for the reminder.

5. There was something else going on which kind of sidelined the news about Palmer...

Ronald Reagan?

[querelle]

6. No

Reagan died last year. Palmer died in 2003. What's the connection?

Q

[Hugin]

7. None, I guess...

There was something going on around then.

9. John Ritter died not very long before Palmer did.

11. Johnny Cash and John Ritter died on the same day, too.

[Left Is Write]

12. Well...one was 9/11 and one was 9/12,

But close enough.

8. I loved Robert Palmer. He died very soon after John Ritter did.

It was sudden - a heart attack. He was young (I think 54).

10. Yeah......

He died in Paris at the age of 54. Way too young. Such a waste of talent too.........
