They're dropping like flies

Read this morning Paul Kantner has died aged 74.

Talked with a workmate this morning and he said JA was right- one generation got old, one generation got sold. And he and I are now the generation who got old...

With all of the hard living these folks did in the 60's I for one am surprised they made as far as they did.

But then we see guys like Keith Richards and Ozzy still kicking and it makes me want to just shake my head.

Keith will make 100. My bet is that Mick goes soon, though.

It's true what the old timers used to say: Time marches on, and nobody can stop it.

yeah.. 2016 has been a rough year for musicians... Didn't see Bowie or Frey coming..

How is it that Keith Richards is still kicking?!?!? And last time the Led Zeppelin guys were on TV, they looked like they were about to cack any minute. I would've expected these guys, and Ozzy, to go before Bowie...

sad.
