That band were the soundtrack to my teenage years.


Haven't found a good obituary yet, just this item on the metro:

But knowing the BBC obituary chap, I think he'll have a good one posted to the BBC News website in a while or by the weekend's end.

Apparently he died on Tuesday, but they didn't announce it until today.

Petition for a monument at Lakeside Park.

I guess if Rocky gets a statue in Philadelphia this makes sense.  :)
