    Music Legend Dies

    by Freelance Reporter Jillian "Savoy" Kaba

    (IRRK) -- Music legend Claw Barley dies aged 74 after stim overdose. He was best known for hit such as 'No Whom-pah, No Cry' and 'I Shot the ICC Peacekeeper (but I did not shoot his droid deputy)'.

    Claw Barely, the celebrated singer-songwriter, died last night in his hotel room in Rome Blue. The coroner reported the death was caused by accidental stim overdose. He will be mourned by a legion of fans.

    A neutral citizen, Barley was in Rome for a series of concerts to mark his 50 years in music business. His career started as the lead singer for Rhino-Nation back in Newland’s musical underground, but he soon left the band to pursue a solo career in which he could enjoy total artistic freedom.

    His songs featured a powerful mixture of politically charged lyrics and soulful, life-affirming melodies.

    It is perhaps a fitting tribute to Claw Barely to end this report with a quote from his most famous of songs, "Campin"

    "Ooh, yeah! All right!
    We're campin':
    I wanna camp it wid you.
    We're campin', campin',
    And I hope you like campin', too..."

    Creator of the Newland sound? The 'Slow Claw'? I though everyone knew him.

    It is a sad day.

    I think that the people of Rubi-ka are so interested in 'classical' music from the 20th century that they neglect to give enough attention to modern legends. May Mr. Barley rest in peace!

    The obtru helmeted fixer chortles just a bit, a loud hum coming from inside the helmet as she speaks her mind.

    "That Barley guy.. I dealt with him once, he wasn't really the sweetest guy when it came to him wanting stims.. my god, he fiended."

    A laugh from the clanner, before she just stops digging her own grave about the secret stim-trade
