Smash Mouth lead singer dead in his fifties.
Bill Maher in “Club Random” this week with Jim Gaffigan expressed that a lot of Comedien’s have died.
Not at the pace of Musicians Bill. Going back to E. Smith, T. Petty, Prince and Chris Cornell. Andy Wood to Shannon Hoon even the ‘Cranberries’ chick, Linkin Park dude. Dude from the band Morphine. Cobain, Morrison, Hendrix and Scott Weiland. J. Lennon. Sinead O.
W. Houston and her daughter. Amy Winehouse and Jeff Buckley. J.B.’s death, from swimming in the Misssissipi river. I had just seen him perform an in-store show at the now defunct Tower Records Westwood.
Comes off a little bit like the Billy J. “we didn’t start the fire” kind of rapidfire. New Cold War Kids, version of WDSTF is worth one listen.
Robin Williams and in some ways A. Bourdain, on Bill’s side of gratuitous deceased argument. Chris Farley and Bob Saget. Gary Shandling, Gilbert Godfried, and L. Anderson also mentioned. Paul Reuben (Pee Wee).
SM “All Star”, I have listened to hundreds of times.
