… there’s the litany of legends felled by illness, drugs, and just plain old age in more recent years: George Harrison, Ray Charles, Michael Jackson, Lou Reed, David Bowie, Glenn Frey, Prince, Leonard Cohen, Tom Petty. …Funny how they put cult-status nobodies like Reed and Cohen in there and no mention of people such as Malcolm Young or Ian “Lemmy” Kilmister—never mind that Chuck Berry is utterly ignored.
And there isn’t a single mention of either Allman brother (Duane or Gregg) among the rock icons who have passed away over the years.
FYI, while Leonard Cohen’s music didnt remotely resemble rock ‘n’ roll, the Maestro was ANYTHING BUT a “cult status nobody” and I take ISSUE.
Harrrrummmph!
