i hate to be a debbie downer, but does this mean two more music and/or other media celebrities will be dying soon? they come in threes, if i'm remembering correctly.

Apparently Ian Copeland (IRS records founder) died today, too.
He was 57.
So I guess that's 2.

I think Copeland passed yesterday, but who's splitting hairs? Was wondering why the radio played three consecutive Dekker tunes this morning. Crying shame.

I did go seem him last year and am glad i did. I don't think he has a really deep catalog but it was well worth the price of admission just to catch a handful of really great songs.

I keep saying see the legends when they tour while you still have a chance.
