Right, it’s just kind of funny.  I think of him as very famous, because he was at the center of popular culture during a few of my formative years.

Kind of like Joe Strummer and Bob Marley for me.

You better not ask who they were.  You, young whiper snaper, you ...

I’m vaguely aware of Joe Strummer, though I couldn’t name any of his songs.  Bob Marley is a cultural icon who transcends eras.

Well, there's your answer.  @Doohickie , @PerreaultForever and @New Scotland (NS) all grew up LLLLLOOOOONNNNNGGGGGG before the 90's.

 

So did I but I know who he was.  Then again, I still don't ignore new music.

Oh, man ... Paging @Sabel79 ... could you handle the first part of this for me?  I just can't ... thanks, mate.

Fair enough.  I used to, but as I've gotten older I am not so adventuresome (I think that's a goodly English word).

lol, ain't that the truth. My kids were born in the '90s. 

I've heard of him but he doesn't mean anything to me. Just one of many.

Every time I look at this thread title I see RIP, but I think RIP RIP...and wonder what happened to Rip Simonick.  
 

Sometimes I wonder what is going on inside my head. 😂

Not only that but he was front page news in Buffalo multiple times for being arrested for child support for his children in the area. 

I haven't lived in Buffalo since the early 1980s.

I only heard about DMX because I was moonlighting at a Pizza Hut in Killeen, TX. The late teens on crew were playing a local hip-hop station, and that's how I heard about him.

As for the late Prince Philip, say what you will, but the man witnessed more history than some of us could ever dream of.

Now that's a name I haven't heard in a long time. Panflute?
