Rest in peace Billy. He died yesterday morning after suffering a major heart attack overnight and taken to hospital.

Billy was a member of the old school pub rock band the Aztecs, but their albums along with his solo career have mainly been successful here in Oz, and thus considered a rock and roll legend by many australians.

A memorial service is being organised for sunday. He is the only person I know of whose funeral attendance will be handled by Ticketmaster. That’s right, as it is a public funeral service, people will be able to attend, but only if you have a ticket, which is available for free.

Song of the day: Some people I know think that I’m crazy.
