RIP Greg....

Not a big fan of his music, but enjoyed some of it.

Godspeed.

Too bad it wasn’t Cher.

Saw The Allman Brother's Band at the Harrisburg Area Community College in 1970, I believe it was just after the eponymous debut album, but before Idlewild South, and many times in the years since.

Fantastic, fantastic group of musicians, who endured more than their fair share of tragedy.

Hope he has been welcomed home by Skydog, Berry and Butch.

RIP.

Although I liked a lot of their stuff, I wasn’t the biggest fan of the original Allman Bros. But loved his solo work. Whot a life and times, tho’. There for it all and in the midst of a lot. I hope it went well for him. d:^)

Never got the chance to see him live, heard his live shows were pretty free wheeling.

Worst decision of his life: marrying Cher.
One of the best decisions: dumping Cher.

Anyway, look up Duane and y’all eat a peach for peace.

All the great ones are dying. At this rate, soon, there will be nobody making music worth listening to anymore. When will the madness stop?

Gregg Allman Ain't Wasting Time No More. Chris Cornell, of the Soundgarden band, will no longer be having Black Days here on Earth.

That guy from the J. Geils Band saw his last Centerfold. That dude who drummed for that band that I can't remember will no longer be playing cowbell on that one song that played on the radio a lot. That girl from Sister Sledge, dead, dead, dead. Chuck Berry had a Particular Place to Go and it's not here.

Then that guy who played in Asia is dead and the guy from April Wine too. Those were two good 1980s rock bands and now they are dead.

Gerry Rafferty is dead. Johnny Cash too. Most of the Bee Gees and Andy Gibb too. Half the Beatles are dead but Paul lives on. McFadden & Whitehead are both dead and dead. Guess there was Stopping Them after all.

The list of carnage goes on and on. Laura Branigan, Teena Marie and Juice Newton, all gone. George Michael, Greg Lake and Bob Welch are all dead too.

Bobby Vee, Prince and David Bowie. All three are dead.

I can go on and on for hundreds and hundreds of more names but the bottom line is that soon all the musicians will be dead and we shall have nothing to listen to but talk radio.

The father-of-five was married five times, including to the singer Cher - the father of his son Elijah Blue Allman.

I've read this a few times and I'm sure it's both grammatically and factually incorrect.

Duane was the brilliance behind the AB. After he ate the peach it was just replaying of the good stuff from his era.

Greg was the Hollywood partyboy. Cavorting with the likes of Cher.

I liked the band, but his hippie followers seemed to be extra smelly and burnt. I left Red Rocks and couldn’t wait to take a shower.

So that’s two husbands Cher has outlived. Looks suspicious to me.
