Rick James - Rest In Peace

This one REALLY hit me hard...

Rick James, yes the hard living, rough loving, megastar of pop funk has died. Say what you will about his lifestyle, he was a heck of a bass player, a real showman, and a great entertainer. Seeing him break the Mary Jane Girls in feels just like yesterday to me.

One thing about the folks who made the music of your youth, when they pass on, it goes right through you, like a spike through the heart.

Will miss you always, Rick! God bless you.

As I ALWAYS say, they're putting one hell of a band together up there!

Calloway, I appreciate the fact that you are honest with your feelings. All too often, many sugar coat their beliefs about a person once they pass on. I don't like that whatsoever. I prefer people to be upfront. Politeness, over all else, is a dangerous thing.

The purpose of this thread is a tip of the hat to Rick James - warts and all (and there were A LOT of them). Some will like him, some will not, and some will be in the middle.

Thanks to you and everyone else for your participation,
Joe
