Pete Sinfield died.  He was a founding member of King Crimson and was responsible for their lyrics and album artwork.  He later went on to write hits for Leo Sayer, Cher and Celine Dion.  He also produced the first Roxy Music album.

A digital subscription to the NYtimes is worth the cash.   NYT reported they picked the news up off Fripps website.  I couldn't even find mention of it on Rolling Stone.  NYT, recently had a good piece on Jesse Ed Davis and the role he played during his career.  

Pete Sinfield, haven't heard that name in years. "Song of the Sea Goat "from his album "Still" Memories from the old stony days.

Another one that recently passed is Vic Flick, who was the guitarist for Ian Fleming's James Bond theme. I will never forget Dr. No, first saw it as a teen who rode my bike 5 miles to the nearest theater for a Saturday matinee. 

“The wind cannot hear

said the late man, to the straight man”

Reminds of the Cream co-lyricist who was there for “White Room”, “I Feel Free”, and “Sunshine of your Love”, poet Pete Brown who passed last year. 

RIP.  Slowly but surely all of the artists of the bands I grew up with are passing on.  Fortunately their music lives on.  Long live rock be it dead or alive!
