Thats because its a white guy. Minorities, like Pitbull can get away with it.

i see what you did there
RIP - The Money Man
‘i see what you did there’
Thanks, that one could easily slip by.
Didnt he do that travel commercial? rIP.
I don’t think it’s God that is keeping Keith alive.
I went to almost 20 years ago in a small venue in Plymouth, MA. It was excellent!
Whenever I see that image, I wonder when Mick will be the guy he “outlived this week”.
Prior to being a rocker, he was a NYC policeman.

Eddie Mahoney ... He toured with Elvis Costello for Columbia records when they were both new artists ,, he apparently still had the cop attitude at that time and was not well liked.
Saw him as a warmup band for Greatful Dead.
:)
Wow all the updates over the last couple weeks seemed like he was on the mend / good chance to beat it back. PR Misdirection?, truely a compilation came on hard and fast?
RIP, he had some good songs, seemed genuinely a decent guy.
“I saw him in the late 70s when he opened for Dave Mason (of Traffic fame) at the Universal Amphitheater in L.A”
Yeah that would have been a good show. I think Universal amphitheater at that time was still an outdoor venue which I always thought was superior to when they enclosed it. Dave Mason’s wonderful “Certified live” LP was recorded there just a couple years earlier from when you saw him, highly recommend LP. I saw Dave a couple times a number of years later when he was no longer able to fill a big auditorium but sitting at the Golden Bear in Huntington Beach and some of the Hollywood nightclubs was amazing to see him.
Yeah, loved Eddie Money. What a shame. Everyone getting so old! His show was pretty funny and his wife is beautiful.
Giant wasn’t former Foreigner musicians.
I’m a believer

Yep, Universal was far superior before the roof was put on. Youre fortunate to have seen Mason at some of those smaller venues.
