La Cucaracha by Lalo Alcaraz for January 09, 2023

Terry was something Specials.

Who was Terry Halls?

Never heard of him … or them.

Yowza – the Specials! Ska! Think you could also call it “alt reggae.” The Specials, the English Beat… I saw the latter once in Chapel Hill, NC. At some point, a few guys from the English Beat formed a band called the Fine Young Cannibals, good, good, good. When it comes to pop/rock, it’s hard to beat the alt stuff that appeared in the 70s and into the 80s. Nick Lowe, Elvis Costello, Talking Heads, New Order, the Jam, the Pretenders, Tracey Thorn……………………

Also of the post Specials group, Fun Boy Three. My introduction to his work.

The Specials were so cool! Ghost Town was a great song !! … :)

Long live Ska!

The comics are my source of culture and information.

A fitting tribute. RIP Terry Hall. You are missed.

The Specials were great!

Loved their music. I was introduced to their music by the Grosse Pointe Blank movie and soundtrack and really appreciated it. As a side note, Joe Strummer of the Clash put the soundtrack together so I knew I was in good company.

he’s taking a message to rudy…

Nice tribute ♥♥

It’s lookin like a ghost town.
