One more Classic Rock death, Lee Kerslake, drummer for Uriah Heep, and on Ozzie's early solo records. He was in ill health for a while. Super nice guy, we had some fun times touring over the years.
When I was a kid, my dad belonged to NYC Musician's Union local 802, as did I when I first became a recording artist. They had a newspaper that published monthly, and there was an obit column called "The Closing Chord." Might as well have one here, deaths of my era people and others will surely continue in future years.

That would be ONE depressing thread... Jim Carroll used to do this live: and after HE died, Patti Smith performed it, adding Jim's name into the roll call...

GWAR did that tune and put Oderus Urungus in there, when Dave Brokie died. Nice how a macabre song like that is set to an upbeat and poppy tune, it may have been too much otherwise.

That was a great Jim Carroll song. Still is. Sad when people go, but no one gets out of life alive.

I think I may have heard it once or twice. :-) Last Days of May... ? Slightly tangentially, OK, very tangentially, I've been spending my Christmas transcribing a number of old newspaper BOC gig reviews (as you do) and I was amused last night by one Salt Lake reviewer from 1976 who came up with this: Led by Don 'Buck Dharma' Roeser, an adequate guitarist to say the least, the Cult both riddled and soothed the stomping crowd with such varied selections as "Me 262," "The Three Friends" and the current chart-topper "Don't Fear the Reaper."The "Three Friends", eh...? Still, I'm guessing Buck will be relieved to hear that he's "an adequate guitarist"... always nice to hear positive feedback... :-)

Maybe he was only adequate on Three Friends.

Maybe he was only adequate on Three Friends. Maybe the reviewer had just seen the Three Amigos and was confuse.
