A lesson to all us Baby Boomers. It lies dormant for a long time. Bryzezinski died too at 89.

 

Come one guys, slow down with the dying.

Hall of Fame Pitcher and long time Congressman Jim Bunning also passed today at 85. Only Congressman to enter baseball's HOF.

Greg's soulful voice will be missed. I remember seeing the Allman Brothers was back when they started out, calling themselves the Allman Joys. They were the driving force in the birth of southern rock.
