RIP Tom Verlaine. I actually bought a 1977 pressing of Marquee Moon on Saturday at my local record store only to find out he passed that day. One of the greatest guitar jams of all time:
Those were great times. You could turn on AM radio and hear that song, Janis Joplin, Carole King, the Doors, Perry Como, and the Rolling Stones within the same half hour.
Dave, from De La Soul just passed. Tragic. Right before their first 6 albums finally come to streaming and they’re about to be celebrated like they deserve to be, in March.
