G Man Posted March 28, 2019 Share Posted March 28, 2019 I saw General Public just after the English Beat broke up in 1984, Rankin Roger did not disappoint. He died Tuesday at 56 from Lung Cancer and Brain Tumors. https://tonedeaf.thebrag.com/ranking-roger-dead/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cmatthes Posted March 29, 2019 Share Posted March 29, 2019 I got to see him a few times, and he was always on it...even when Wakeling couldn't hold it together, or even played the same song 3 times in the set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockola Posted March 31, 2019 Share Posted March 31, 2019 I see Wakeling every other year or so when he comes to town. Great show, great energy and, while it's not edgy in any sort of way, they are loving done performances. Still, there's just that little bit of me that looks at his band and the crowd... and wonders. The band looks like they were hired from cruise ships and the crowd could have been very hip parrotheads. The similarities are funky/weird, yet, there I was, waiting for Rough Rider and was not disappointed. RIP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
