[The Mad Monk]

Bobby Sherman, 81.

At age 4, I had access to a portable phonograph (the kind that looked like a small suitcase with a power cord, this was 1971), and my mother showed me how to properly handle and play records on it. Only record I clearly remember playing, and I played it all the time, was a Bobby Sherman Greatest Hits album from that year; I only know this because the two songs I remember best from it were Seattle, and Easy Come, Easy Go. I probably still have it somewhere, and I probably scratched it all to hell.

Thanks, Bobby, for that childhood memory.

RIP singer, guitarist, and songwriter Mick Ralphs, 81. Founding member of Mott the Hoople and Bad Company. A big part of my teens and 20s - college in the 70s, baby!
Sad to see another one gone, but hey, it's only gonna happen more as I swing through my septuagenarian years...

Anyway, RIP to Mick, an underappreciated rock star.
