Another sad marking of the passage of time. While I respected his music, I much more enjoyed his interviews. I loved his sense of irony and whip smart, understated humor.

Another music pioneer and we have not made it out of January...

This saddens me a whole lot....I know we must all go at some time but Paul was one of those I really enjoyed and loved his work......many of his writing has help me through the years,in fact my first "rock" song ever introduced to was my sisters 45 "Somebody to Love" in '68 and loved his work ever since......the Heavens has many greats now for one heck of a performance.....R.I.P. Paul......

As has been said "If there's a Rock & Roll heaven, you know they've got a hell of a band."

Saw that this morning.  

[Tom Geiger]

I heard that Abe Vigoda and Jean Stapleton died this week also.   Celebrities are dropping like flies!  

[Harry P.]

Jean Stapleton died years ago.

Abe Vigoda is covered in the Dead Fish topic...

[Tom Geiger]

Jean Stapleton died years ago.

 

It was Pat Harrington... same thing, I got the ton part right!   

[Harry P.]

As has been said "If there's a Rock & Roll heaven, you know they've got a hell of a band."

I second that!! This is one of my favorite songs by The Airplane, one that is maybe not of there more commonly heard songs though. RIP Paul

Another one...

    I do like that version over CSN's. Kantner was a cowriter of the song.
