23 years ago!

It has been 23 years now since Phil Lynott has passed. Crank some Thin Lizzy today in his honor!

August 20th, 1949 - January 4th, 1986

A sad day it was.
Remember hearing it on the news here in Norway the day he passed...
Cranked some Thin Lizzy that day, and will today...
RIP Phil Lynott...

Well....why not?

RIP Phil.

RIP but I don't have any Thin Lizzy albums yet (nothing against the music but I have little money and a want list that circumnavigates the globe ).

RIP. I have both Bad Reputation and Jailbreak. Both are good, but I perfer Bad Reputation.

Truly a great band with talent at all positions. RIP Phil Lynott, one of the best frontmen ever !!! I give you:

The Rocker

I am your main man if you're looking for trouble
I'll take no lip 'cause no ones tougher than me
If I kicked your face you'd soon be seeing double
Hey little girl, keep your hands off me 'cause I'm a rocker
I'm a rocker!
I'm a roller too, baby
I'm a rocker!

Down at the juke joint me and the boys were stompin'
Bippin' an a boppin', telling a dirty joke or two
In walked this chick and I knew she was up to something
I kissed her right there out of the blue

I said "Hey baby, meet me I'm a tough guy"
Got my cycle outside, you wanna try?
She just looked at me and rolled them big eyes
And said "Ooh I'd do anything for you 'cause you're a rocker"
That's right I'm a rocker!
I'm a roller too, honey
I'm a rocker!

I love to rock and roll
I get my records from the Rock On stall
Rock and roll
Teddy boy, he's got them all, all, all, all, all

(Ro-cker)
I love to rock and roll
I get my records from the Rock On stall
Sweet rock and roll
Teddy boy, he's got them all, all, all, all, all
(I'm a Rocker)

R.I.P.

Some of my favorite Phil lyrics:

Little girl in bloom
With happy heart you wipe aside
Any sadness, sorrow or gloom
Tomorrow youll be a blushing bride
That loves her blushing groom

Little girl in bloom
You watch the men play cricket
From the window in your room
See the ball go from bat to wicket
Pass away the afternoon

Little girl in bloom
Carries a secret
The child she carries in her womb
She feels something sacred
Shes gonna be a mammy soon

When your daddy comes home
Dont tell him till alone
When your daddy comes back
Go tell him the facts
Just relax and see how hes gonna react

Little girl in bloom
All the clouds will go drifting by
So sing your lullabying tune
Every word is in your eyes
As you sit and softly croon

Little girl in bloom
Your love it fills the air
With the scent of the sweetest, sweet perfume
You feel so good you just dont care
Youre gonna be a mammy soon

When your daddy comes home
Dont tell him till alone
When your daddy comes back
Go tell him the facts
Just relax and see how hes gonna react

Phil Lynott great songwriter, one of the greatest frontman and an Irish poet, wish he was still with us.

A sad day indeed. Still one of my all time favorite bands. Not a week goes by that I don't play at least one Thin Lizzy platter.

Well said. Thin Lizzy is an all time favorite of mine. R.I.P. Phil.

Still sad after all these years. He had a lot more to offer. Hope that he is resting well.
