Iain Banks, author,born in Dunfermline,taken much too young at 59 years only two weeks after announcing he had terminal cancer.

When asked to list his favourite music for EMI's Personal Effects - a music compilation where they asked cultural icons to list their favourite music - For Michael Collins, Jeffrey and Me was in the mix.

Rest In Peace

crosseyedmary75: 2,000 years later, we have His words. We know what He said. Ian sang, And the all-time winner
Has got him by the balls
He picks up Gideons Bible
Open at page one, I thank God he stole the handle and the train it won't stop going Headlong to his death. Why? Dec 28, 2019 4:01:18 GMT
