Heard this last night and the first thing I thought of was that when Don Rickles heard the news he said:
"God, I know celebrities die in sets of three but why do I end up in the group with but some obscure hockey-puck musician who can't even afford to use his first name on promotional materials? I guess number three will be the substitute organ grinder from Central Park."

Fox And Friends did a quick tribute to him at the top of the hour. Not bad.

I like the humor in some J. Geils lryics. “Love Stinks” and “Centerfold” are classics that never sound out-dated.

Saw them, Lynard Skynnard and ZZ Top at Tulane Stadium back in 75’. Was a great concert even if the NOPD made a phalanx and beat up half the crowd on the field with their riot sticks.

They were good in the early days but then they went complete pop and I couldn’t stand them. He was a nice guy though.

Wow! What an excellent video. I never knew that J. Geils was so knowledgeable and such a historian.
Now I have to learn more about Charlie Christian and T. Bone Walker, not familiar with either of them at all. I saw B.B. King (also mentioned by Geils) right around his 70th Birthday in Pompano Beach, FL...
