I can't really add more to your post/poem Inna, but very poignant, all I can say is I miss the rhythm machine like mad, and hope he has the best posthumous day wherever he is right now, luv u RP, all the best legend...

I typed something out for this thread last night, read it and then deleted it as it read as a bit twee.
When anyone close to passes away, there's certain milestones along the way which bring it back home. Birthdays. Christmas. So, I've been thinking about Rick's family, as well as Rick too obviously.
I've played a few Rick songs yesterday and today but the ones that I keep going back to are One By One and This Is Me.
I didn't really care for One By One when it first came out but it's really grown on me in the past few years.

I'm a big fan of those 2 tracks, but the one that will probably be my all-time overriding favourite is Lonely Man. IMO, if that had been say, a Plant/Page track, it would've been heralded as an all-time classic in the general rock media. It could/should have been massive for RP, and Quo, as it wasn't "typical Quo"...

Thought of him a few times recently and not just on the 12th. How he kept repeating in interviews just how much he'd love to see his twins grow up. So sad for him and more so for the kids. If only his self-discipline had been as strong as his right arm ..
