Damn, just saw an article in Rolling Stone about their 40th Anniv tour. 70 though. That's alright. That's a life lived at least.

I find the cult of Lemmy/Motorhead fascinating....mostly because it's kind of based on ether. 99.9% of the people who will claim to be deeply affected by Lemmy's death, will write some soliloquy equating to him to rock royalty, yet have never heard a single Motorhead song aside from 'Ace of Spades'. None of which is to say that Lemmy/Motorhead don't deserve the praise, or to claim that I'm any different/better, just that I find it fascinating how many people have formed a deep connection with Lemmy and Motorhead that seems to only be fractionally based on their actual music. It reminds me of how every third gutterpunk is wearing a massive Crass backpatch, despite the fact that Crass sold like 4 records. I guess that's the definition of iconic. R.I.P. Lemster.
