Putting truth to the saying "only the good die young". Yes, Billy Joel is still alive, he has his own channel on Sirius. So does Tom Petty, but he's dead. But, they found 3 of his recorded shows that hadn't aired, so they're having a little "special" this weekend. Ch 31 (this is what most of the commercials on my satellite radio tell me).
John Phillips may have been good musically (for a brief period), but he was bad in more ways that you want to imagine. Incest, sex with minors, alcohol, drugs, wife abuse to the point of hospitalization, satanism, who knows what else. Laurel Canyon has it all -- in a far different way than Q "has it all".
