Loved that guy.

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."

Pretty safe to say he got the most out of life.

Lived hard, died old, and left some beautiful music. RIP.

Live stream of his memorial.

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 30's and onward? What jazz?

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.

Amen. Kicked to death by a fucking bouncer.... what a fucking tragedy.

Jazz is not dead, but jazz songs making the top 40...that's dead

Rumor has it he was the one who shot it down just before he fled to Brazil.

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

Good stuff. Bill Haley and Chuck Berry were about the top of Rock when I was a Senior. It needed a little more seasoning.

First jazz album I ever bought was the Jaco Pastorius debut album. The second was his Birthday album. I even read that biography that came out about him. He was a genius but so tortured, like Mozart or Tchaikovsky.

I didn't have to buy my first jazz albums because my folks had a great collection. First one I probably bought with my own money was probably Kind of Blue by Miles.

There were many strange deaths in the late 70s and 80s of creative people, former leaders of demonstrations, etc. And many leaders whose pretended "friends" gave them bad drugs and went crazy. Wikipedia describes where Roy Buchanan died.

Fairfax was the first county in the United States to reach a six-figure median household income and has the second-highest median household income of any local jurisdiction in the United States after neighbor Loudoun County.[4][5] The county is home to the headquarters of intelligence agencies such as the Central Intelligence Agency, National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency, and National Reconnaissance Office, as well as the National Counterterrorism Center and Office of the Director of National Intelligence. The county is also home to ten Fortune 500 companies, including three with Falls Church addresses.[6]

Yeah it becomes a moot point after a while. Bringing up the past won't bring back your dead icons. And there are thousands of poor bastards who died unknown the same way. At least the media seems to notice a bit nowadays.
