Wow, does that mean House of Usher gets a compassionate leave day?

QuoteOne hundred sixty years ago, the beleaguered, impoverished Poe was found, delirious and in distress outside a Baltimore tavern. He was never coherent enough to explain what had befallen him since leaving Richmond, Va., a week earlier. He spent four days in a hospital before he died at age 40.

Is'nt that like the end of some of his stories? Like he saw the face of something people should not see!

Oh wow. Thanks for the link to that article, Johnnystress! I'm going to print that off and re-work it for my English GCSE class as a comprehension exercize. It has relevance. They've already had Poe's Philosophy of Furniture as a help or a hindrance for a descriptive writing assignment inspired by ThryllSeekyr's contribution to the 'My Bedroom Art' thread. They're also getting The Premature Burial to go with a passage from Dracula ahead of half-term and Hallowe'en as inspiration for them to write a horror story.

;D

And that was very sad about Stephen Gately, suddenly, at 33. That's a terrible shame. A bit early to say, but it sounds like recreational drugs/misadventure. But regardless of what he died of, 33 is no age at all, and I've never heard a bad word said about him.
STRIKE !!!

Stephen Gateley was far too young. Even if he had a part to play in Boyzone, he doesn't deserve this. Poor kid.

And look forward to it I will.  The decent music to come out of the boyband movement may be scarce but there was some and after Take That I reckon Boyzone were probably the best of the bunch. Just because their fan base was mainly made up of teenage girls doesn't automatically disqualify them as decent artists.

Guh. Neither and a good nor a bad prospect. I'm just back from B&Q where I heard some nondescript Michael Jackson playing over the P.A. So nondescript I couldn't even tell you which song it was.

Hmmm. Crazy for You by Let Loose? But not Say It Once by Ultra, although there was far worse than that.
STRIKE !!!

I'm really trying but I can't think of any exceptions. Please let us know of a few tracks from your collection.
