[kj] (OT) (Objection to) R.I.P. Gary Moore

[Rob Moss]

We might even shead a tear if something should ever happen to you Pete!

 Thing is, if someone thinks it worthy of comment, then they can.
 If someone doesn't like it, on these things they should shut the fuck up.

 Gary Moore's music did nothing for me but the fact that a 58 year man dies is worth lamenting, regardless.

 Where do you draw the line at R.I.P posts though ?
 Sharon Osborne ?
 Plastic Bertrand ?
 Tempole Tudor?
 There has to be a cut off point and I feel that Gary Moore is on the other side of the cut off point .
