Wow. I saw the Airplane - well, Starship - back in 1975. Marty Balin and the band were great. RIP.

The people who instigated the changes that have destroyed this country will continue to die physically.

Unfortunately the spirit they unleashed continues.

Today, you’ll make me say
That I somehow have changed
Today, you’ll look into my eyes
I’m just not the same

RIP

He had some health problems a couple of years ago that seemed to keep him from performing.

He and Phil Collins could have been twins, if you look at early pics of Phil with Genesis.

“He and Phil Collins could have been twins”

There must be some misunderstanding
There must be some kind of mistake
