RIP Terry Hall of the Specials & Fun Boy 3, gone much too young.
I once interviewed Terry Hall when he was in Colour Field as part of a college media round table. He quickly lost patience w/ half-assed college kids’ questions & just began sarcastically skewering them. It was so perfectly Terry Hall, I wanted to hug him https://amp.theguardian.com/music/2022/dec/19/terry-hall-lead-singer-of-the-specials-dies-aged-63
Terry Hall: lead singer of the Specials dies aged 63

Having survived a tough childhood in Coventry, Hall became one of pop’s defining voices at the turn of the 80s, chronicling British decline and disfranchised youth with the 2 Tone band
