Punk passed in 2022 at 6 years old from a blood clot caused by hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. He was the most amazing void and I miss him every day. Hug your voids and all of your cats. His brother (not a void but still wonderful) Daft is still with us despite having the same condition and Daft’s adopted brothers Ron & Ollie (single brain cell oranges) have helped him get back to normal again. Daft literally went mute for about 6 months after Punk’s passing and thanks to Ron & Ollie he has slowly become his sweet chirpy self again. <3

I refuse to watch cable news, don’t have regular tv, and not a fan of visual media for news anyways. I would love something like a Lemmy/reddit mega thread where I can refresh and get up to the minute updates, but from professional news/journalists. But without the faux drama reality tv stuff that the cable news networks always do. I also love podcasts so if there’s a listening medium that isn’t overly dramatic that works too. Any suggestions?

Hello! After 27 years of following DMB, sometimes obsessively, sometimes just as background music, my passion has been reawakened after a monumental trip to The Gorge with my sister (a truly rabid fan).

Whenever my interests start pointing solidly in a given direction, I become like “Number 5” in Short Circuit and always need “more input!”

While I don’t know if Lemmy is yet the place to foster a super active community (I have hope but our numbers are few compared to other social media), it does tend to attract passionate types, and in the music world DMB fans rank pretty high in passion.

So I welcome you to this community and hope you subscribe and help make it a place where we can talk about our favorite band, especially if you’re like me and have given up most other forms of social media out there!!
