KIND WORDS FOR WORDSMITHS
I just needed to write in to express my sorrow at the recent deaths of Malcolm Dome and Peter Makowski. These two, among many others, fuelled my early years of rock education with their excellent writing. For me it was in the amazing (at the time) Kerrang! magazine, which I devoured from cover to cover. Among the seemingly never-ending list of musicians who have sadly passed on in recent times, these two will surely hold their place in the rock afterworld, maybe ‘ghost writing’…ahem. They will be missed.
On a happier note, I’m so glad to see the return of the much missed CD with this month’s magazine [CR296], albeit a short EP, but very welcome nonetheless. I have so missed the CD in recent times, especially the always fantastic ‘best of the year’ editions, which subsequently cost me lots of money purchasing the albums. Hopefully there is a comeback on the cards.
