This week, folks immortalized in song, surely there’s no greater accolade ?

Special note must go to the roots of this playlist, suggested by a nice young lady, Jack Lemmon by Saint Etienne, unfortunately, Spotify didn’t want to play ball so it’s not present, but look it up, great tune.

 

nb I please, please look up the lyrics to Rasputin, they are quite possibly the best I’ve ever come across.

nb II Do you know what actually did happen to Corey Haim ? Very sad story…

 

Enjoy !
