Where's Nic's Tuesday post?

Rock promoter and music publisher Don Kirshner has died. I grew up watching Don Kirshner Presents, which was the first TV concert series before there was such thing as music videos or MTV.

^ ouch!

 

[Ollie]

Amanda Holdens' baby

I will not be accepting deaths of pets/family members of notable people, unless they were notable/famous in their own right.

Doesn't count I'm afraid. Especially if it wasn't even born.

I think he was more known for his time with Skid Row tbh. Black Rose was one of my favorite "guitar records" of all time. He just was a player that you knew was playing on a song. Greg Lake solo album, Cozy Powell solo album, he just TOOK OVER! Probably why he didn't last in Lizzy for long. Sad when they go, especially so young.

Jack Bruce wrote both this and White Room so I think you can forgive him for copying himself, but Moore outshines Clapton when you compare the two.
