Motorhead guitarist Fast Eddie Clarke dies at 67
Motorhead
British hard rock band Motorhead says former guitarist Edward "Fast Eddie" Clarke has died aged 67.
Motorhead says on Facebook that Clarke died Wednesday in a hospital while being treated for pneumonia.
Clarke joined Motorhead soon after it was founded in 1975 by former Hawkwind bassist Ian "Lemmy" Kilmister. He was the final survivor of the band's classic lineup: Lemmy, Clarke and drummer Phil "Philthy Animal" Taylor.
Kilmister and Taylor both died in 2015.
Clarke's time in Motorhead produced some of the band's biggest hits, including the ferocious anthem "Ace of Spades."
Clarke left Motorhead in 1982 and later formed the band Fastway.
A later Motorhead guitarist, Phil Campbell, said on Facebook that Clarke "will be remembered for his iconic riffs and was a true rock n roller. RIP Eddie."

I come here for the obits. You know you're getting old when the first thing you do is read the obits.

Nah, it just means you've fallen prey to the Grim Fansome. Mulch the area around your house with penguin feathers, the scent keeps him out. You might want to get a house penguin until the molt and the spring mulching, it will save you a bundle. Penguin guano is a fine fertilizer, to boot.
Penguin raising for fun and profit is becoming a big thing with back to the berg hipsters.

LOL @ the Grim Fansome, plus penguin guano.
