Don't worry about getting older and still doing stupid stuff. You'll do the stupid stuff as always, only much slower. Hold my beer and watch this.......

He stood rock and roll drumming on its head. Also, he was the first R&R drummer to use a double bass setup, if I'm not mistaken. His powerful sound came with a surprisingly light touch. I have fond memories of losing myself in Cream's music back in the dark ages.

Yes, sad to hear. R&R was a very different world, back then. Glad I was there to enjoy it.

60's and 70's rock music was a delicious journey. So much innovation.

Sad to hear. With Rick Ocasek and Eddie Money going recently it’s been a tough month for music.

What great fun back then getting a new album, reading all the cool liner notes while listening the first time. And a double album? Too cool...

Ya double albums. Crosby Stills and Nash 4 way Street. I wore that out several times in the tape player of my 69 Dodge Dart GT Convertible. I remember all the controversy that surrounded the Beatles White album. And of course Pink Floyd with The Wall.
