I knew a plumber in Chicago that could drink like a sailor, probably because he was a sailor during WW II. He would drink a quart of whiskey every day. One day he just quit like throwing a light switch. He is dead a long time now. Huge props to anyone who can down a fifth a day and keep rolling.

Lemmy was one of a kind, would I get demoted for suggesting special heavens?

He should have kept on drinking.

I knew a blind guy that drank at least a half gallon of Gran Marnier every day. His whole house smelled like oranges and lint.

He built a lot of those buildings on Lake Shore Drive and Sheridan Road. He would run 30 and 40 man gangs. It took a lot to do all of it, a lot of stress and so on. Glad it was not me. I drove the big truck for many years and I have a little trouble recalling it because of the meningitis. It is coming back to me slowly. ;) He should have kept on drinking.

Lemmy left because he just couldn't stand to be on the same planet as Justin Bieber....

Lemmy was what every rock star and wannabe desires at the deepest pit of their core...authentic and unapologetic! A legacy the rest can only admire from afar because they do not have the balls to live like Lemmy. Lemmy was one of a kind, would I get demoted for suggesting special heavens?

I was but a wee child when I learned that some things are worth a beating. :) I get beat up every time I pull that schtick. :)

Never heard of him or Motorhead before today. But according to Wikipedia, Lemmy's drummer thought the whole world knew and loved him: "...drummer Mikkey Dee confirmed that Motörhead would not continue, stating: "Motörhead is over, of course. Lemmy was Motörhead," adding: "We won't be doing any more tours or anything. And there won't be any more records. But the brand survives, and Lemmy lives on in the hearts of everyone." (Italics mine.)

Thanks, but no thanks. I fast forwarded it at the start to 0:13 and lasted until 0:17. As Tom T. Hall used to say, "Five string banjo's more my style."
#23. To: StraitGate (#22)
Dakmar says, and I quote: "Motorhead is not for the faint of heart." : ) Once, Lemme did play a violin...........people cried, it was moving. However, there have been no reported sighting of Lemme and a banjo. "Five string banjo's more my style."
