DÉLIRE ACTUEL

Émission du 9 juin 2009
Broadcast Date: 9 June 2009


DESCRIPTION
Hommage à Hugh Hopper (RIP): Le grand bassiste Hugh Hopper est décédé dimanche dernier (7 juin 2009) d’une leucémie. Il avait 64 ans et, jusqu’en juillet 2008, il était encore actif et créatif. C’était un compositeur de grand talent (des chansons comme “Facelift” et “Was a Friend” demeureront gravées dans ma mémoire) et un fabuleux bassiste (sa basse “fuzz”!). L’émission de ce soir lui est entièrement consacrée.
Tribute to Hugh Hopper (RIP): The great bass player Hugh Hopper died last Sunday (7 June 2009) of leukemia. He was 64 and, until July 2008, was still very much active and creative. He was a very talented composer (songs like “Facelift” and “Was a Friend” will remain forever etched in my brain), and a fabulous musician (with his very own fuzz bass sound). Tonight’s show was entirely devoted to him.
