Re: Derringer Dead

Nothing about it that I can see yet. If he died, I assume Weird Al would have said something. However, I did find this nugget...he's apparently selling his CDs on his website. Nothing odd about that, right? Except, he's selling them for FIFTY DOLLARS, and after taxes and fees, they're SIXTY EIGHT. ...

Re: Why is it un-american to dislike the Beach Boys ?

I like falsetto harmonies, to an extent. Eagles (new kid in town), and BeeGees (how deep). But, lots of people hate the BeeGees, ...even though to me, they're a much much better pop band. The songs, the performance, better. I'd describe the Beach Boys as an overly sappy croon show, trying to captur...

Derringer Dead

Reports flowing in on Facebook that Rick Derringer died on Saturday.
I've seen him a few times and he always put on a great show. I hope its fake.

I call Keith Richards soon.
He can barely hold up a guitar, plays horribly, and looks like a hunched over little old lady with
a grand pa belly. He walks and moves really slow as well.
He's looking very Nasferatuish.

LOL HARD at anyone saying this was 'good'. He's been a clown from the band's inception.
