He passed away today from cardiac arrest today. I had the pleasure of meeting him a few times. I even helped his brother get him and his wheelchair into his customized van after a show in NYC a few years ago. He lost his lower right leg to diabetes and was a nice guy. He was 75.       I can't wait for 2020 to be over with.

I saw Mountain in my high school gymnasium in 1975 or 76.  The hardwood floor was destroyed from the students putting out their cigarette butts and pot joints on the floor. The gym was packed. Lol

Holding up cell phones at a concert is something I hate with all my heart.  Holding up a lighter until it burned you was metal.  Holding up an electronic gagdet that your life revolves around, so friggin lame.  Maybe spend the whole concert taking a shitty video while you're at it.
