    Very sad. A really great musician, inspired many of the major bands the last sixty something years.

    RIP.

    RIP Chuck Berry <rose>

    Actually married to the same woman for 68 years.

    In October 2016, at the age of 90, he announced he was “releasing his first album in 38 years, a follow up to 1979’s ‘Rock It.’ The album, titled ‘Chuck,’ will be come out sometime in 2017 through Dualtone Records,” reported The Huffington Post.

    “This record is dedicated to my beloved Toddy,” Berry said in a statement on his website. “My darlin’ I’m growing old! I’ve worked on this record for a long time. Now I can hang up my shoes!”

    A truly divisive character, I lived in Belfast in the late 80s / early 90s during the troubles, and there was no doubt that McGuiness and co were at the least aware of the planning of bombings and shootings. However, he is also responsible for pushing forward the peace process in NI, and bringing the IRA to heel. There will always be divisions in NI, due in part to the actions of McGuiness and other members of the IRA/INLA etc (and loyalist paramilitaries too) but if Ian Paisley could put it behind him, then there must be some hope.

    Hope McGuinness Rests With A Conscience, after all the terrible acts he and his murdering and torturing compatriots carried out (even, occasionally, against their own people). His Damascene conversion later in life may help him face his God with greater ease, but he can never escape his past.

    Back in the early 80s I worked at a school where there was an Irish deputy head, a lovely woman called Mary. Her father was a sergeant in the RUC. One night I remember watching the news on TV and a member of the RUC had been shot dead on his doorstep, it was Mary's father. His grandchildren were in the house at the time. That was the cowardly measure of McGuinness and his cronies at that time.

    Both sides were guilty of heinous crimes often against innocent victims. As Mary said when I saw her many years later, you never get over something as awful as that, it haunts you every day. There are still many who cannot forgive...

    Ex-RAF serviceman and writer Dougie Brimstone said this ...

    ''Maybe the hospital could hide the body of Martin McGuinness and refuse to tell his family where it is. Let's see how they like it.''

    The hospital should check his body for bombs, he might have wanted to go out with a bang!

    I'm more saddened to learn of the death of Colin Dexter, creator of Morse, than McGuinness.
