Wings are not good and it's suspicious that so many McCartney band members seem to die just saying

Has to be one of if not the first pop singer to incorporate a gospel choir into a secular song. Not convinced that Dutch interviewer isn’t a time traveling late era Dan Aykroyd.

Classic rock stars I kind of forgot were still alive.

I’m surprised that the MC5 aren’t in the Rock N Roll Hall of Fame. I guess the New York Dolls aren’t either. Hmm.

That one sucks. I didn't know how many people I know knew who he even was until he died, so there's some decent music bonding going on.

He's gonna tell St. Peter to brace himself and KICK OUT THE JAMS, MOTHERFUCKER

RIP

Huge influence on my guys Paul Stanley, Rick Springfield, and a lot of the hair metal guys. Raspberries seem like they should have been huge stars rather than just having one huge bit and 2-3 medium hits. He was actually a bigger star with his supermarket music solo career. “Make Me Lose Control” might have been a great song if it wasn’t 1988.


I guess he became a huge MAGA guy in recent years so I guess my friends don’t have to be subjected to his Facebook posts anymore.
