31 Years Ago Today,..There was no breeze.
« on: October 20, 2008, 07:10:57 PM »
Just a quick post to what happened on the way to Louisiana on this day in 1977.  Another small plane crash that has taken many others away too soon in the music industry, Buddy Holly, Big Bopper, Stevie Ray Vaughn, Randy Rhodes, John Denver, and others.

Just thought I'd throw it out there for a Fall evening. RIP

Thomas Jefferson: The strongest reason for the people to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against the tyranny of government. That is why our masters in Washington are so anxious to disarm us. They are not afraid of criminals. They are afraid of a populace which cannot be subdued by tyrants."

Wow, hard to think it was that long ago, I was 17, definitely into them, I need to get my albums out of storage, because I just might have the flaming artwork cover, that they pulled just after the crash. Saturday night special always stuck in my craw though, but everything else was golden.

I also have a Jackson flying V Randy Rhodes edition, I hate the guitar, but love the crunch, it's a monster.

Thanks for remembering and reminding us. RIP +1

I was 16. You're old. ;) I remember the day was in a pretty bad mood because of it and I guy I didn't really like (who insisted on constantly bothering me) asked if I heard the news. I cracked wise, "yeah,  Skynryd is now the Grateful Dead."  The only good thing that came from that accident was he never talked to me again.

You guys are a couple of old farts aren't you?  ;D  I was only 15. I always hated that one song but most of the rest really was golden. The double album Gold & Platinum is awesome.

That song never really bothered me. I didn't pay too much attention to lyrics then. NOW it bothers me.  ;D
