Morrissey Central "JIM CONNOLLY, RIP" (July 30, 2024)

"Sometimes too sad to comment. Jim was personal security for me during the Smiths and the early solo years … of good faith, smiles and kindness, Jim was the Dublin of eternal steel. Who else but Jim would wash my clothes by hand - unasked?

These days, we live life one shock at a time. There is no other way. Jim's departure is todays' shock."
MORRISSEY.

Lovely photo. I do wish Central would make the effort to find/use images like this, rather than the badly pixelated ones that tend to be used.

I didn't realise the images were pixelated - I guess there's an upside to cataracts after all

All you alright or are you just taking the piss? Some people...

I’m being sincere. I truly care about this person and his well-being.

I wish they’d make the effort to find someone who can use an apostrophe correctly. “Today’s shock.”

“Jim, I always believed there would be time for us to sit and remember the 80s and 90s…but of course life is just a click of the finger,” said Morrissey in tribute on RIP.ie

“Wherever you are I hope you are alright. Thanks for caring so much.”

Interesting that he believes he's somewhere. Juxtaposed to 'I know nothing comes next' from Saint in a Stained Glass Window.

I did previously wonder whether the line in that song actually referred to the zen proverb 'nothing happens next - this is it'

RIP.ie is an Irish website where most death notices appear, and accompanying each announcement is usually a page for anyone who likes to post condolences. It's very popular, or more accurately, assiduously frequented.
