Fuck

I figured Gregg would be the first to go of the remaining founders. Glad I got to see them the last few years they were together. Fuck. This one hits hard, team.

Jealous. The Allman Bros did a lot of touring when I was in highschool, and all my friends would go, and I skipped it because I foolishly thought of them as "dad rock." Years later I love that band and wish I had caught some of those 90s shows.

yeah this sucks...we used to see them every march in NYC at the Beacon

I got to go the last 2 years of the March Beacon Run. I didn't get to go to any of those last shows in Oct 2014, tho.

I was the same way. Then something just clicked for me and I got it. Saw them 6 times from 2009-2014 and they are, for all intents and purposes, my all-time favorite band.

I'm actually supposed to see his nephew Derek's band, Tedeschi Trucks Band tomorrow night. Haven't been able to find out if the status has changed or not.

loved her shows growing up...

For some reason I always get her and Carol Burnett mixed up. I watched Carol Burnett.

wease · Post by **wease** » Wed January 25, 2017 8:11 pm

Just heard about her.

Damn. 2017 is starting off awfully shitty.

Biff Pocoroba · Post by **Biff Pocoroba** » Wed January 25, 2017 8:32 pm

I just heard too; I'd count MTM as the first major celebrity death of the 2017.
She leaves behind quite a legacy and all but I thought her namesake show was a bit overrated; or at least has not held up as well as some other '70s iconic ones.

That isn't true at all.

Oh man, that's rough.

My thoughts are with her friends and family.

RIP Mary

Thank you for all you gave.

Just read that Butch's cause of death was suicide. He shot himself in the head with his wife sitting right in front of him. Apparently, he's had some IRS problems for the past few years.
