Wow, RIP. Wasn't Peter Wolf the singer? Am I right on that?
And was not Magic Dick the harp player, or am I thinking about another band? I didn't get to meet J Geils but I may be thinking about Steve Miller, but I got to meet Magic Dick on a cruise boat, the only cruise I'll ever go on, it was a blues-themed cruise, a chartered. boat. And they were on it. A bunch of them, 1994 I believe.
Magic Dick wasn't feeling well, he had a cold or something, he was trying to sit over there out of the way in the dark in a barroom on the ship, and I went and bothered him. My bad I guess. I guess you get tired of peons coming up to meet you when you're famous and just trying to have a beer. My bad.
The J Geils Band rocked my world when I was a teenager, they were sure a big part of the sound experience. Wore their records out, wore holes in them.
Goodness knows I sure don't want to get into any sort of a fight with you again, but can you elaborate on that just a little bit? I'm only curious where that mindset comes from. That statement, that's just about as callous as anything could be. But I'm sure I'm only misinterpreting it.
Speaking just for myself, I did not take it too seriously until I got into my sixties & all of a sudden what used to take a few days to work through, strained muscle, common cold, etc., now takes a couple of weeks to get rid of. It becomes very frustrating & you will know it when you get there.
...when you got a fast car, you think you've got everything.
I have been 65 since I was 23.
now that I am 44...
I posted this sad news in the friday night song thread yesterday.
that band was local to my upbringing.
A new record was fresh in my 7th grade and was still long hair everywhere...
the only record that went platinum.
it all changed quick. That was the early 80s.
J Geils was big.
I let it fade away like van halen, and many others.
listened again on the internet..late 90s.
not heard much anywhere.
RIP

the death rate and fairy tales cannot kill the nature left behind.
