This week, it's part 1 of my discussion with Phil Stacey about how we deal with losing musicians we love. Show notes: - Gord Downie died a few weeks ago - Many high-profile music deaths in last few years - Musicians are getting older, but also some tragic deaths - Phil: Elvis Presley's death was memorable - Lennon's death was shocking - Phil: Cobain and Jerry Garcia's deaths hit hard - Jay: The plane crash that killed Randy Rhoads stands out - Lemmy, Bowie and Prince all died within a few months of each other - Chris Cornell's death earlier this year came as a surprise - Many big-name musicians died this year: Gregg Allman, Tom Petty, Chuck Berry, Grant Hart, Walter Becker - You tend to dig into the back catalog - Bowie's death kicked off a rough 2016 for music fans - Losing Prince was a gut punch - Jay: Saw the Tragically Hip many times over the years - Downie released a posthumous double album - Very captivating live performer - Watched a lot of concert videos and documentaries on YouTube after he died - Downie focused on indigenous people's rights in his last few years - To be continued Completely Conspicuous is available through the iTunes podcast directory.
