J. Geils, lead guitarist and founder of the J. Geils Band, died of natural causes at 71.
Even if you're too young to have heard "Love Stinks", "Freeze Frame" or "Centerfold", in his prime he was so popular that bands like the Eagles, Billy Joel and U2 opened for him.

I was in Detroit the night after this happened, there was a small vigil for him with flowers and spoons. It was kind of hard to walk past. Most of my favorite bands now are all missing people.

You younger ones may not know the name, but he and his brother were American legends.
