Perhaps EM got one of those "tickets to paradise" that he often sang about. RIP.

Some of them I knew - simply from the number of times hearing them on radio - most I didn't - couldn't name one song of theirs although probably did enjoy it

Music is in the ear of the listener, same as painted art is in the eye of the beholder.

One person's listening ecstasy is another's noise

I hate Picasso's work  (would like to own one  just to sell it ) but he is a legend

If I say his work is garbage - to me it is

If I say someone's music is noise - to me it is

yes, a sad one and somewhat unexpected - partly because he always looked kinda young

Its not only the rock legends checking out but a good portion of their fans

How many people left alive actually seen bands like the Beatles or Lynyrd Skynyrd or The monkees live in concert with the original band members

Some of the "unique" drugs that he used to snort might have had something to do with his continued longevity !!!!
