Man I loved this guy. His strange vocals and acrobatic bass ways were a huge part of my teen years. I still pull out my Cream records from time to time. Thank you for the music Jack  ------------- “The Guide says there is an art to flying or rather a knack. The knack lies in learning how to throw yourself at the ground and miss.” - Douglas Adams |

It will a long time before I play anything by Jack or Cream as he was part of my youth the same way John Lennon was. RIP Jack.

I literally just read an article about a band named Hi Fiction Science in Prog magazine, and they referred to being proud of being on the Esoteric label, the same label as Jack Bruce. Then I came on here and read this. Damn. RIP Jack Bruce. -------------

And he was dad's age, so that makes me afraid that my dad may not have long to go. Though Jack probably still smoked and drank through the end, while my dad has much healthier habits.
