Very sad to hear about the passing of Blondie's Clem Burke. I was lucky enough to see him perform live at the Barwon Club with the International Swingers in December 2011. Amazing drummer and a Mod icon.

Clem Burke, the drummer for Blondie, died today at age 70 from cancer. A statement signed by co-founders Debbie Harry and Chris Stein referred to Burke as "the heartbeat of Blondie." Burke drummed for Eurythmics, the Ramones, Bob Dylan, Iggy Pop, Slinky Vagabond and the Go-Go's in his decades-long career. He also had his own band, Chequered Past, with Sex Pistols guitarist Steve Jones, Blondie's Nigel Harrison, Tin Machine's Tony Fox Sales and singer/"MacGyver" actor Michael Des Barres. Here's @Variety's tribute to him.

The ISR genocide force persists in its attacks on the #gaza strip (my words!), causing numerous deaths and injuries, while also committing a grave crime against journalists by bombing their tent in Khan Younis, in the southern part of the Strip.

#RIP Jay North, and thanks for the childhood TV memories of the couch, the siblings, and the giggles.
