Mickey Finn, drummer for TRex died the same day. Also of note famed blues harp player Richard Newell of my home town, Hamilton Ontario passed on the same Sunday. King Biscuit Boy as he was known played with Ronnie Hawkins as well as a legion of other blues legends like himself. A rough weekend for Rock and Roll.

R.I.P.

What happened to Micky Johnny? I'm an old TRex fanatic...named my son Marc, wanted his middle name to be Bolan but his mother hogged up on that.

Back to the BeeGees, they did have a long and successful career before disco and wrote many, many great songs. Also FWIW, they didn't choose disco...disco chose them.

Listening to Slider right now by TRex. Marc Bolen was awesome. I can still remember being 5 years old in 1978 and telling my brother to throw Slider on the truntable, right to Track 8, Telegram Sam. The memories.

I personally could care less about the Grateful Dead. Don't own a single record, tape, cd, dvd, 8 track, minidisc, dat or reel-to-reel of them.

Mickey. From one drummer to another.
