- Grand Funk Railroad, "We're An American Band"

She led quite a life!

Though Grand Funk Railroad may have given Hamzy her biggest spotlight, they were far from her most notable rock conquest. Gene Simmons and Paul Stanley of Kiss, the Who's Keith Moon, Led Zeppelin drummer John Bonham, Huey Lewis, Frank Zappa, Rush's Geddy Lee, Peter Frampton, Eddie Money, Alice Cooper, Neil Diamond and all three members of ZZ Top were all among the rockers Sweet Connie claimed to have had relations with.

Also on her list, Rick Neilsen of Cheap Trick. The band was allegedly inspired by the groupie when writing the following lyric to their 1985 song “Standing on the Edge”: “Connie likes candy, every bite / All day sucker, Connie might / Swallow that thing 'cause she does it right.”

Love to hear how each of these were impactful to you in life and whose death left the biggest void. . .

As the board's resident editor of the obits, I am sure your insights on death and dying will be fascinating!

Charlie Watts, legendary drummer for The Rolling Stones, dead at 80.

in one of the many books i've read about the band they related my favorite rolling stones story:

in the early 80's they were doing a press event where mick repeatedly referred to charlie as 'my drummer'. charlie eventually got up and left the room. later, there was a knock on mick's hotel room door and when he answered, charlie was outside. he punched mick in the mouth and knocked him down, said, "don't ever refer to me as 'my drummer again.'", turned on his heel and went back to his own room.

 

[stoneroller1955]

I've heard the same story with a bit of a twist. Charlie appears at Micks door, dressed impeccably in a suit, punches Mick and then says: "I'm not your drummer. You're my singer."

RIP Charlie Watts.....you were the engine behind the Greatest Rock n Roll Band in the world.

He's genius-level when it comes to recorded music. The layers of his stuff...it just goes and goes and goes.
