I heard about this on Friday. I always liked their music, saw them in concert a couple of times back in the late 70's and thought they put on a good show.
Sort of strange, but for some reason, I never think of the bands I used to listen to as getting any older than they were the first time I ever heard them.......don't know why, but they somehow stick in my mind as never aging like I do. Was surprised to read he was 55.
