Azrael
The Judeo-Christian Angel of Death

"Hine ma tov u'Mah-Nayim
Shevet akh-im gam ya-chad
Shalom"

*The above quote comes from an old Hebrew folksong comprised of phrases that have religious significance. It translates to "Behold, how good and how pleasant". Inspired by a Psalm in the Hebrew Bible, this line has been traditionally associated with the feeling of
unity and harmony among brethren.

I was raised an Italian-American Roman Catholic (as was my mother) with a Jewish last name of my Hungarian father who was a Southern Baptist. Confused(?) - the story of my life! Perhaps that is why I continue to be interested in learning about all religions, but practice None. I listened to John The Beatle and Imagined that there was no religion. 

I do believe that any person who kills in the name of their god has lost sight of the goal.

 Happy Pesach

Dedicated to James & Toni Lewis

Steve Harley
1951 - 2024

Cockney Rebel

T2124



"Ever thought of dying totally unholy
And can you think of one good reason to remain? "


*My first radio show was called Son Of Rock, Etc. (an early seed of the still running Late Risers Club on WMBR FM). It debuted on WTBS, Cambridge, MA in the Summer of 1976 (I was 20). It was a mixture of the new music just arriving from across the US, the UK, the already vibrant Boston local scene and albums from my library that I loved (everything). I played bands like The Beatles, The Stones, The Monkees, The Stooges, Lou Reed, Roxy Music, The Spiders From Mars and Cockney Rebel. I had earlier read in an article about the latter in the NME that there was a serious rivalry in London between Bowie, Ferry and Steve Harley, so I immediately bought their 1973 debut The Human Menagerie and remain a devotee 51 years later. 

I'm bound to remember you, Steve.
