Vanaf morgen begin ik aan een nieuw #slurfje of #draadje.
#GoneTooSoon.
Met allemaal artiesten die te vroeg zijn gestorven...
Uit de #27club en nog veel meer grote en minder grote #muzikanten onder de 60 jaar oud.
#muziek #music #musik #muzik.
Alle #genres zullen aan bod komen, en ook een deel #belgen en #Nederlanders.
Ik zal er natuurlijk veel missen, maar ik zal mijn best doen, ik ken ook niet alles.
Ondertussen zal ik ook mijn #allfemale slurfje blijven vervolledigen.

Watching Control for a second (third?) time and the foreshadowing of how Ian will take his own life is absolutely heartbreaking.
