If not the inventor of the air guitar, surely a master.

Thanks for all the memories, Joe.

I am stunned.LOVED his voice and music

[Cyman]

I went through a divorce. sold my practice and drove out to San Diego knowing no one in the Spring of ‘91. Joe kept me sane on that long lonely drive from Ohio to California.

[Bigg Red]

Never “got” his act.

[GrandJediMasterYoda]

He's not in the Rock and Roll hall of fame. Can you believe it? But Madonna is. RnR Hall of fame: Credibility = Zero.

[V K Lee]

How sad. So many who were here are here no longer. RIP, Joe, and thanks for the music.

Joe asks St. Peter, “Where’s the bathroom window?”

Of his lesser known/played songs, one I have always liked is “Sandpaper Cadillac” from the “With a Little Help From My Friends” LP

An LP I lost when I never went back to the apartment of the girl of dubious morals where I had left it. The dubious morals were not the issue. It was discovering that she was 15 and not 18. Although on the plus side of the ledger, she was considerably more experienced than I was (age 19). I have fond memories of her when I play that CD now.

Remember, it was 1971 after all. If the war had not been going on, it would have been the best of times. $15 lids, 99¢ for a six pack of long necks, cheap cigarettes and 35¢ gas. What else did a virile young man need?
