Jack Russell

@tony1954

I believe that if he was still alive and had just released an album that you disliked, you would (justifiably) feel free to say so. My comment was pretty mild. I simply said that I didn’t think that he was great. Few musicians are.

If you consider that an insult just because he has passed on, I will repeat what I already said; that is superstitious. I think it’s based on that old "only speak well of the dead" belief.

Nothing related to superstition—just a rather inappropriate statement in context. Please remove the post, whoever made it.

We might ask ourselves why do we respect the dead more than the living.

Thank you.

And for those that think this 80s band was limited to that one ( and mostly overplayed ) hit “once bitten twice shy”, try a quick listen to a later unplugged track, “Sail away” , and appreciate that even the most hardened critics of this era’s hair music period will be able to at least appreciate Jack Russel's vocal talent.
