RIP Jack Bruce
« on: October 25, 2014, 07:36:15 AM »
From his FB page:

It is with great sadness that we, Jack’s family, announce the passing of our beloved Jack: husband, father, granddad, and all round legend. The world of music will be a poorer place without him, but he lives on in his music and forever in our hearts.


I said he didn't look well in the Silver Rails interviews, and also said that album sounded like he was giving everything he had left.  A sad day.  He was an inspiration to so many of us.

He may have made his name in Cream, but this is the song that I will always think of personifying him best.

My favorite bassist.  If we had a flag here, it should go at half mast.

RIP Jack.

 Truly one of the great ones is lost in your passing.
Thank you for all the incredible music. You helped inspire me to pick up the bass and enjoy it all these years.

RIP Jack. We all owe a huge debt of gratitude to his musical legacy. Rock and Roll wouldn't have been the same without him.

Yes - to me he changed what the bass guitar was seen as capable of. A huge influence on me - I'm glad I heard about it here at the Outpost.

Sad to hear it - time catches up with all of us.  R.I.P to one of the greats!

Odd coincidence........ Yesterday, I switched my car stereo to Bluetooth to play an internet station on my iPhone, the song that popped on was "End Game" by BLT. I thought that was odd, I'd never heard that song on the radio before. Ended up it was playing random songs from my iTunes library. Out of 2,454 songs, that was the first random song it played. Rest in peace Jack!
