They're dropping like flies

Brings to mind this joke,
After Jimmy Buffett dies and enters the Pearly Gates, God takes him on a tour. He shows Jimmy a little two bedroom beachside house with a faded parrot banner hanging from the front porch. "This is your house, Jimmy. Most people don't get their own houses up here," God says. Jimmy looks at the house, then turns around and looks at the one sitting on top of the hill. It's a huge two-story mansion with white marble columns and little patios under all the windows. Tie-dyed flags line both sides of the sidewalk and a huge Grateful Dead banner hangs between the marble columns. "Thanks for the house, God. But, let me ask you a question. I get this little two bedroom house with a faded banner and Jerry Garcia gets a mansion with brand new Grateful Dead banners and flags flying all over the place. Why is that?" God looks at him seriously for a moment, then with a smile, God says, "That's not Jerry's house, it's mine!"

Melanie

 

If there a rock and roll heaven. You know they got a hell of a band.
RIP Melanie.

 

I liked Lay Down, couldn't stand Brand New Key and am lukewarm toward Look What They've Done to My Song, Ma. I believe that's all her hit songs.

She was a true icon of the 1960s.

 

Dickey Betts

 

John Mayall

 

I saw him in 1996 at a music festival in San Diego. Really got the crowd going!

 

Its sad seeing all these people dying at such young ages....

 

Some died young but not all. John Mayall lived to be 90.

 

J.D. Souther

 

The Eagles wouldn't be The Eagles without some of the songs he wrote.

 

Kris Kristofferson a great human being as well as a great artist.

 

Pete Rose, MLB’s polarizing all-time hits leader, dead at 83, agent says

Charlie Hustle may be gone but will not be forgotten. PUT HIM THE HOF NOW!!
