RIP Olivia Newton John

RIP Meat Loaf

Happy retirement, Daft Punk.

Damn, 2020. RIP Eddie Van Halen.

I have to admit, the first I think I ever heard of John Prine was when he was nominated for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame a year or two ago.

Will have to listen to some songs of his to see if I recognize them.

RIP Dolores O'Riordan

RIP David Cassidy.

I just saw the headlines. He's next up on my Rock and Roll Hall of Fame listening list. You've got to give credit to these stars of yesterday who manage to live long lives. Too many talented musicians have their lives cut short.

Not all news outlets have confirmed it yet, but it appears Tom Petty has died. Rest in peace.

RIP J. Geils

Gah! I go on a men's retreat and I miss the death of one of the architects of rock and roll! Good for him to live that long. There aren't many of the original pioneers left. He was going to release a new album this year. I wonder if he recorded the material for it yet.

Rest in peace, you handsome brown-eyed man.

Kurt Cobain would have turned 50 today. That's a very weird thing to try to wrap my head around. Even if he hadn't killed himself at 27, I don't think he'd have made it to 50.

Another talented musician gone too early. RIP Prince.

I just saw the headline about David Bowie. I didn't even know he had cancer. I think I'm going to be numb for the rest of the day now.
