Lemmy Has Died

[Carl]

Just got news that Lemmy, the embodiment of freewheeling hard rock, has died at age 70.

Apparently, he learned two days after his 70th birthday that he had cancer, and he died two days after that. He left a huge impact as a songwriter and a rocker.

This is sad… RIP Lemmy

This one hurts. My inlaws are the living embodiment of white and uptight. They live in a condo in the town where I live (and have lived all my life, they are relative newcomers). As they vacation in Cocoa Beach Florida from January until Early April, they have kind of morphed into uber-conservative, sense of entitlement, Donald Trump loving, faux-Republicans. Like, climate change is not manmade, guns are good, immigrants are bad. yadda yadda. But they are both born here, they are Canadian. My father-in-law (actually more a step-father-in-law) is perpetually angry, happy to let everyone know what it is that "ticks him off" "Perturbs him" "irks him" etc. It drives both my wife and I wonky. And it always gave me *no* small sense of pleasure to roll into their parking lot with Motorhead's "Ace Of Spades" playing at plaster-cracking volume whenever I am summoned to repair something there which is all the time. My wife just kind of laughs, because I always crack it up just before turning into the parking lot.  We're going on a cruise with them in 2 weeks. I'd rather suck a hospital mop.

                                                               Thanks for everything Lemmy. I'm gonna miss you.

I didn't personally know Lemmy, but I just know a hard fast life and a quick death was how he wanted it. Living his lifestyle and hitting 70....pretty amazing. The world was a better place with Lemmy in it.
