I think for the most part the surviving members of the Dead gave up drugs years ago, and are health nuts now for the most part.

I wish they'd take Idi Amin and Khomeini
And Khadafi and all of the rest,
Tie'em all up to a chair,
And make'em stair at Yasser Arafat,
'Til he uglies the whole bunch to death.

RIP/MEMORY ETERNAL.

I remember the song he wrote for Elvis “In The Ghetto”.

Heaven take good care of both Mac And Hellen Ready who passed yesterday.

Not one of his biggest, but certainly one of my favorite MD recordings:

Elvis never wrote music. Or was that /sarc?

Yes, that was meant as a joke. I would assume that all of his songs were written by other people.

I've noticed that even the famous are dying before they get to 70, or barely over 70.

Yes... that's not really 'old' anymore, given so many people are living at least until their late 80s - early 90s these days.

I used to go to Rome, NY on business trips that would sometimes last into the weekend. One Saturday I made it to the Hall of Fame. It was great.

When I sat up in the upper deck at Memorial Stadium with Wild Bill’s group, they didn’t allow people to sit on the fromt row along the rail. These seats were monitored by this cute usher. She had, like the last 3 sections down the right field line to monitor. Wild Bill would give a couple of kids some money to go to the very end of the upper deck and sit on the front row. The usher would have to walk down our section and across the front row to tell them they couldn’t sit on the front row. As she slowly walker there, she knew what was coming. Wild Bill would lead our section in singing, “Ain’t She Sweet.” Now I play guitar in a band and that’s one of the songs we preform. Brings back good memories.

Not quite sure if it a good or bad thing when ‘they’ start dying younger than you...

Just think of it as before, not younger!
