Let's all fire up the bong and slap on After Bathing at Baxter's.

What a fucking depressing obituary.

Just last night I was ogling the JA DVD at Amazon. A couple of reviews had made mention of the fact that all the members of the classic lineup were still alive (which hadn't really occurred to me), and were able to be interviewed for the thing. Damn.

So sad. I just got the DVD the other day.

He was "Lather", you know.

With Skip Spence, that makes two drummers they've lost.

Interesting the Earl Palmer connection.

Fuck, I didn't hear about this! Poor guy, depressing indeed...

"Little more than a shack, really"--that's pretty sad.

I guess Skip Spence was far down by the end of his life too--at least he got to make "Oar," though.

He did Grace Slick = full life

His drumming was fine, but yeah, I mostly associate him with "Lather." I played that song a lot when I was about to turn 30. Sad that his last years were so tough.
