And, Tony Lewis, the lead singer of The Outfield, passed away at age 62. Remember their 1986 hit, "Your Love"? That was good one. R.I.P. Tony.

Another death announced today: Chet "JR" White, whom I knew as a bassist and producer for the short-lived but sometimes really good band Girls, died. He was just 40 years old.
Here is a song I always liked by Girls, a song to which he no doubt added his producer's touch to as a kind of fun-in-the-sun, beach vibe of a tune, "Lust For Life."

Sadly, that is the second Uriah Heep member to pass away in a little over a month. Drummer Lee Kerslake passed away on September 19, 2020 at age 73.

And I forgot to mention that Hensley sings lead on one of my favorite Heep songs, Lady in Black, off of Heep's 2nd album, and my personal favorite, Salisbury.

I thought this RIP was going to be for BWPS, which you recently slaughtered!

Sad news. I bought "1-2-3" after one hearing. Wonderful stuff:

Rapper MF Doom, an artist on the (local to me) Rhymesayers label whom I believe was one of the (few?) rappers our very own jk enjoyed, reportedly died on Halloween 2020. He was known for wearing a mask, having a kind of comic-book persona, and for his clever wordplay that went from obscure and intricate to silly and broad.
His family and the label released a statement yesterday.
He was 49. No cause of death was given.
