I love Mose. Great songs, great lyrics and a big influence on The Who and Dutch artist Herman Brood & His Wild Romance. RIP

89 is a good age to go, I guess...

I think more and more people will leave us in next few years. Of course Bowie, Prince and Amy were too young, but the whole first rock and roll wave will be 80 soon, or some of them already are. Members of Stones, Beatles, Who, Kinks, Cream, the last Small Face standing, LedZep, et cetera.

Today I was thinking. LedZep never did any original stuff ever. They nick and copy everything. Will they copy their way of dying too? 'Let's wait how Pete Townshend dies and do that too!'

Damn :sad:
Always loved Mose. Just plain cool 8). I was always in to his vocals and lyrics, when I caught his act several years ago I was astounded by what a great player he was. Just plain Cool 8)
RIP
Rick
