Quite realistic, given the fact that the name of Keith Richards topped a list of soon-expected deaths sometime during the mid-70's Stern Smile.

Rest in Peace, Billy Paul.

An essential song for prog listeners:

Beer now THAT is a song made for dancing if you know what I mean.

I'm sure tonight thousands... maybe hundreds thousands of adults conceived to that song are raising their drinks in honor of him and that incredible song. Someone on NPR today called it.. THE greatest love song ever written.  Hard one to say.. a lot of great ones to choose from there.. but there is no doubt that is a top 5 all time songs best suited for dancing. LOL

to take the place of the mud shark in your mythology...

I can imagine this song being really suitable to be covered slighly like the original but stretched out in a post rock version

^ Another big loss, he was a massive figure in the whole afrobeat scene with his brilliant and modern take on Congolese rumble called soukous, lots of great work with Zaiko Langa Langa and Gabriel, plus solo material.

RIP

Papa Wemba has died, apparently on stage last night. He was only 66.

Prog fans will, of course, especially remember his work with Peter Gabriel.

RIP.

How cool to share a birthday!  I've been more affected than I expected too Drew.  Maybe for different reasons.  Since he grew up near me and lived in this city he was always a presence and we all took him for granted.  Not being the kind of music I go for usually, I never dived much into it beyond the surface, I figured I could do so anytime, what's the rush?   Wasn't expecting him to go so soon. 

I've never felt the city as affected as they are by this one.  People don't want to let him go.  He was very good to the fans and people around here are just crushed.

I was listening to Kornheiser on the radio yesterday and some guy drew the parallel between him and Bowie. Well actualy more than that.. he called him the American Bowie.  Makes one sad in a way that Bowie had a final say.. artistically.. and Prince obviously didn't.  One wonders what he would have done, how we would have expressed himself.

Oh, and yesterday I forgot to quote my all-time favorite line about Prince, by the movie critic Pauline Kael (in her review of Purple Rain):
 
"I'm disposed to like Prince because he is, as a friend of mine put it, 'the fulfillment of everything that people like Jerry Falwell say rock 'n' roll will do to the youth of America'."

+1 on that Teo...
ThanksHug None of my family and friends were affected but a large area in the coastal region was and there's a lot of damage, homeless people and death (557 so far, thousands wounded). A truly terrible catastrophe. Cry 
 
Glad to hear that all your loved ones are safe, but very sorry to hear that so many are not.  What is the best way to donate funds to help? The Red Cross?
