Farewell to a King. Drew Struzan is as iconic to Gen X kids as any band or film star. And it wasn't just movies - one of his earlier pieces was this classic from Black Sabbath:

May arrange a game of "Wikipedia History page" or "Sabaton lyrics"?

The arguments for sacking off live shows by established bands and sticking to small grass roots venues are accelerating. At some point - the public will collectively conclude that the costs for gigs of this size are no longer worth it.

Good. Hope it was painful. Cunt.
