    Well. There goes another of my heroes. I honestly didn't think Lemmy was human for the longest time time. Honestly, watch the Lemmy documentary. He had a mythical quality about him that was unbelievable. And made some of the best rock music ever.... "The only way to feel the noise is when it's good and loud."

    Did he come along after the 50s or something? Name sounds like an illegal immigrant.

    No. He came around at the perfect time, just before the death of character and originality. And he had plenty of both. Lemmy is slang for "Lend me some money."

    Lend Me Some Money or I'll Killya Mister?

    I'm totally open-minded to music after the 30s, except for after the 40s.

    Beethoven was from 1770-1827 so I guess he just missed the cut

    The day the music died for @jlprk was when Glen Miller's plane was lost.

    Sly. Jazz died when Bill Evans kicked the bucket. But that's okay. If you watched Ken Burn's revisionist history of Jazz, he wasn't mentioned any way.

    Jazz died the day Jaco Pastorius was murdered.

    My final senior high school home basketball game we were lined up in front of our bench for the national anthem. I broke away from the team and ran over to the bleachers where I had hidden my bass and amp all plugged in and ready to go. Pulled it out and played Jaco's version of the Amerika/national anthem, harmonics and all.

    Within a year of Jaco dying, a similar musician, a drunken Roy Buchanan was found "hanging" in his jail. (Although this likelhhood of him being able a knot through a slit in the window is zero.) Both were considered mavericks of the instrument (bass and guitar.) Both were mentally ill. The cops and the bouncer both got away with murder. The moral? #mentallyill-livesmatter
