Fats Domino - d. October 24th 2017

It's the aftershow party,

everyone’s here. Fat man

grins, paws rollin’, voice 

like a slurred trombone.

Down here it's still,

the thrill is gone.

George Young - d. October 22nd 2017

1 The beat was not easy 

2 One hell of a band 

3 Your mind was on Friday 

4 No flash in the pan 

5 So what’s it to be, George?

Rosemary Leach - d. October 21st 2017

How often the camera

pushed you to the shoulder

of the frame, missing

that ordinary glamour,

that sultry stage-croak,

that neglected smoulder.

Sean Hughes - d. October 15th 2017

After all the shows,

those poems of sadness

and light,

it comes to this;

a beginning, a middle

without an end,

a joke

waiting for a punchline.

Tom Petty - d. October 2nd 2017

A forgotten town,
choked in dust.
You've been here many times before.
But none step down
from this tour bus,
you won't come around here no more.
