"...long as you love me, it's alright!"

Great song by The American Breed. Gary was the lead singer.
 
holy hell, they're dropping like flies!

abe vigoda better watch his step. :(
 
He owned and ran Pumpkin Studio in Chicago since the 70s. Did records with Styx, REO Speedwagon and many others. I've been seeing his name and ads since I was a kid.
 
Why so many? Lifestyle?
I'm not sure what you're asking. If you mean why so many ads, it's because he advertised in a free monthly called the Illinois Entertainer, which I started picking up when I was a teenager, and that's many years ago.

Lifestyle and time and, well, everybody goes eventually. 50s-60s-70s rockers have been dropping like flies for decades. Look there goes another one! Pretty soon only people you've never heard of will be left. Like the local guy who played organ with The Seeds. Huh?

Its just that there has been quite a few lately. I saw today that the founding member of Tower of Power, Mic Gellette also died. Most of them have checked out a bit early. Joe Cocker was around 70 right?
 
He sure picked the wrong day.

The Seeds were one of the most influential proto-Punk bands, out of L.A. Their song "Pushin' Too Hard" (Top 40, 1967) served as roadmap for a bunch of up-and-comers. Sky Saxon, their lead singer, would much later go on to collaborate with Billy Corgan.

Sky died on June 25, 2009. No one noticed, because another famous singer was lying dead in L.A. from a propofol O.D.

Yeah, because "I'm asking for it and love it".
Creep… .

One-minute responses. I'm living rent-free in your brain. Know why? Because I called you out for what you were, and it's driving you nuts.

What was that you said about "walking right into it"? :D

You're no good at the troll game. But please, by all means, continue.

Whereas you're a fabulous troll.
 
Aella, buddy up with this guy. Maybe you two combined trolls can finally bring me down.

And lemme know how it ends up working out. :cool:

Well, I bet she's doing it because you must have told her some lovely things, too.
But am I surprised that yet another misogynystic prick popped up on this Board?
No. Goes with the specifics of this site.
