I remember Hendrix was followed by Joplin a few weeks later. I think it was the next year that Jim Morrison died, but I still think of all three as going in a pretty rapid succession, certainly within a year of each other.

There's a heckuva band up in heaven.

I saw the headline and thought that we had set a record for the most untimely RIP ever.

It would certainly be something you could hang your hatfield on, Bobby.


Yeah, yeah, I know. But I didn't have much left to work with.
