Keith Levene has died.

A day after watching him in the PiL documentary and I see his face in the New York Post. You know the news is bad if you’re a post-punk legend and the Post is giving you the time of day. He was in the Clash. He is that sound from “Public Image” that sends a spike up my backside everytime I hear it.

This is the second time this week that I have watched a documentary about a band and then someone from that band turns up dead. Nik Turner from Hawkwind passed away the day after I spent an afternoon watching different versions of “Silver Machine” (including one by the Sex Pistols which led me to PiL documentary). I hope nothing bad happens to anyone from Spacemen 3 or the Brian Jonestown Massacre as they have also been on my mind/ viewing schedule this week.
