A loooooong life, but WHAT a loss! These huge names in rock 'n roll passing away these past few years is almost unbearable...

[John A Arkansawyer]

I mean, seriously. Tell me he doesn't deserve that crown on his head!

Buckle down....if most of your musical idols are aged 70+, it’s going to be a tough time

Alas... so so true.

Unless I'm forgetting someone- and that is quite possible- this leaves The Killer as the last man standing from that batch of original rock & roll greats

Saw him at Bridge School Benefits in both 2005 and 2007 and, to be diplomatic, he looked like he wasn't gonna make it too much further. That SOB's truly tougher than leather

If Little Richard ever doubted that he deserved all the honors he received, he never admitted it. “A lot of people call me the architect of rock ’n’ roll,” he once said. “I don’t call myself that, but I believe it’s true.”
