Where do things stand re the Hillsborough tragedy? |

I've kind of lost track-- I suppose the cover-up stayed in place and those responsible were let go with impunity??
Just a heartbreaking story.

The wikipedia page offers a good general overview and a lot of pertinent links. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hillsborough_DisasterP.S. I still hate the Hollies.

That's OK about the Hollies. :) Didn't they name themselves after Buddy Holley? I know the Brits loved him. What's not to love? He had some damn fine stuff out-- what a pity his life was cut short. :(

5. Buddy Holly was great... |
|
... but a bit limited, mainly because he died at 23 (this fact may not be true, since I got it from Wikipedia). We'll never know how he would have developed if he'd lived.
However, I will hate the Hollies until my dying day. Nothing personal. :-)

It's a pity that so many have died young. Very sad about John Entwistle -- he was superb. But Keith Moon was an accident waiting to happen-- but what a drummer!!

2. Nothing really new has been done, as far as I'm aware |
|
There was talk recently about allowing the release of secret files about the disaster, but so far as I know, nothing has come of that as yet.
It was indeed an awful tragedy.

3. I read the book by Phil Scraton... |
|
"Hillsborough: The Truth," and was appalled. My heart went out to the victims-- such a cliche but true.
I think it should be required reading.
