It's tough outliving the heros of our times. I still haven't gotten over Frank Zappa.

Another piece of history has passed on. The joy he helped bring me will live forever.

I simply love the Airplane, and any drummer who could keep up with Jack Casady's roaring bass deserves respect. R.I.P.

My fear is that my grandkids will be born with flippers instead of hands because of the widespread prioritization of money over clean air, water and earth... /end soapbox mode/ John lbpesq Advanced Member Username: lbpesq Post Number: 268 Registered: 7-2004 Posted on Friday, January 14, 2005 - 1:03 pm:    Sorry, wrong thread Bill, tgo (Message edited by lbpesq on January 14, 2005)
