 (c) cd cover

Jeffrey "Jeff" Lynne (born 30 December 1947) is an English songwriter, composer, arranger, singer, multi-instrumentalist and record producer who gained fame in the 1970s as the leader and sole constant member of Electric Light Orchestra. In 1988, he co-founded the supergroup Traveling Wilburys with George Harrison, Bob Dylan, Roy Orbison and Tom Petty.

After ELO's original disbandment in 1986, Lynne released two solo albums: Armchair Theatre (1990) and Long Wave (2012). In addition, he began producing various artists, with his songwriting and production collaborations with ex-Beatles leading him to co-produce their mid 1990s reunion singles "Free as a Bird" (1995) and "Real Love" (1996).

In 2008, The Washington Times named Lynne the fourth greatest record producer in music history.

RIP Phil "The Animal" Taylor (1954 - 2015)

(LP cover)

Phil Taylor (21 September 1954 – 11 November 2015), better known as "Philthy Animal" Taylor was an English rock drummer in the British heavy metal band Motörhead from 1975–1984 and 1987–1992 recording ten studio albums and the live album No Sleep 'til Hammersmith. The classic mark IV Motörhead line-up consisted of Lemmy, Taylor, and Fast Eddie Clarke.

Taylor reunited with Kilmister and Clarke on 6 November 2014 at the National Indoor Arena in Birmingham, England on stage for Motörhead's classic "Ace of Spades" only to come on to wave to the crowd and leave. 

Phil Taylor died on 11 November 2015 at the age of 61 after an illness. "Fast" Eddie Clarke said of his former bandmate via Facebook:

"My dear friend and brother passed away last night. He had been ill for sometime but that does not make it any easier when the time finally comes. I have known Phil since he was 21 and he was one hell of a character. Fortunately we made some fantastic music together and I have many many fond memories of our time together. Rest in Peace, Phil!"

Helmut Schmidt (1918 - 2015)

Helmut Heinrich Waldemar Schmidt (* 23. Dezember 1918 in Hamburg; † 10. November 2015 ebenda) war ein deutscher Politiker der SPD. Von 1974 bis 1982 war er als Regierungschef einer sozialliberalen Koalition der fünfte Bundeskanzler der Bundesrepublik Deutschland.

Ab 1961 war Schmidt Senator der Polizeibehörde in Hamburg und erlangte während der Sturmflut 1962 als Krisenmanager große Popularität. Von 1967 bis 1969 war er Vorsitzender der SPD-Bundestagsfraktion, 1969 bis 1972 Bundesminister der Verteidigung, 1972 war er für ein halbes Jahr gleichzeitig Bundesminister für Wirtschaft und Finanzen. Bis 1974 war er Bundesminister der Finanzen.

Von 1983 bis zu seinem Tod war er Mitherausgeber der Wochenzeitung Die Zeit.

Er war ein sehr gradlinieger und streitbarer Politiker und sprach bis zum Ende Klartext. Eben typisch hamburgisch! 

Ab heute liegen die Kondolenzbücher im Rathaus in Hamburg aus.
