Sad. It’s family lore that before I could talk I was singing along to Jimmy Buffet songs. Cheeseburger in paradise especially.
It is! I agree.
Quick story growing up my pops had and still has his own Janitor business he took me to clean out a old church they had these boxes of records which they said I could have Wish you were here was in that box along with Led Zeppelin IV and a gang of Stones albums wish I held on to them.
A friend of mine died in front of me unexpectedly, he was always listening to the “Wish You Were Here” CD.
I listened to it for the next year in my car. Now it is hard for me to listen to it, even though I love it, because of the memories… that sad time. Enjoying it now so perhaps fresh start w it.
@RosaCanDo cute story!
This made me cry on a hot Sunday afternoon at Rock Werchter 2003. Far before I told alcohol that it was over.
Frontman Steve Harwell now in hospice with fatal liver failure and a myriad of other health issues. 56 y/o. Fuck alcohol.
Edit Four hours later he’s dead.
RIP Gary Wright. Darn. This is turning into an obit column of sorts. I thank them each for their music, which lives on.
