Erp.

Okay, can I be a complete goof for a minute?



G-d knows why, but lately, I've been of a mood to hear Climie Fisher. 
Anyone rememebr them? They had a big hit in the 80s with "Love Changes 
(Everything)." Rob Fisher had been with Naked Eyes, and Simon Climie was 
a producer and songwriter in his own right. (He wrote "I Knew You Were 
Waiting For Me" for George Michael and Aretha Franklin.) WAAAY back when, 
I got an advance copy of their album, "Everything," on cassette. I was SO 
thrilled to have an advance copy of ANYthing, and it was just icing that 
it was so yummy. I even wrote the concept into a book I was writing at 
the time. And I swear I probably ruined that tape listening to it so much.

So finally today I find some of their stuff on LimeWire, and I'm inspired 
to see whatever happened to them, and I find a website with a "Latest 
News" section, and I'm seeing Simon Climie's producing Eric Clapton, and 
doing this, and doing that, and looking very busy, and I'm going back 
further and further and thinking, well, what the hell's Rob Fisher up to? 
And then I get to the bottom and 

Aug. 25th, 1999  -  Rob Fisher RIP 8/25/99 
                            Today at 17:00 GMT, Rob Fisher, the multi 
talented songwriter and producer passed 
                            away. He had been sick for some time and last 
week was admitted to hospital for 
                            an emergency operation. He never recovered. 
He would have been forty years 
                            old on November 5th. 

                            On a personal note, Rob Fisher's work with 
Naked Eyes and Climie Fisher is some of 
                            my favourite music of all time. I wish I 
could have met Rob to tell him what a great 
                            songwriter he was and how much his music 
meant to me. I am very saddened to hear 
                            about his passing, I will always love his 
music. My condolences go out to his family 
                            and friends, especially Pete Byrne and Simon 
Climie.    Kirk

So now I feel all weird and stuff cos I'm very sad for him, and 39 is 
much too young to die, but there's also the thought that this happened 
years ago now and is well over. 

Then there's also the "Well, if you liked them so much, why didn't you 
stay on top of this?" Sigh. I can find guilt in ANY situation. It really 
must be genetic.

Sigh. I wonder if I can find that old cassette....
