RIP Christine McVie


McVie's family said she "passed away peacefully" surrounded by loved ones at a hospital after a "short illness."

I've been wondering who would be next, looking ahead to 2023. A lot of the 60's and 70's artists are now either approaching 80 years of age or are already over that demarcation. Jerry Lee Lewis was the last man standing of the 1950's Rock 'n' Rollers (amazing considering his alcohol intake), his recent death marking the end of that era.

Dylan, McCartney & Starr,, Brian Wilson, Ray Davies, Townshend & Daltry, Jagger & Richards, etc. still appear to be in good health (well, maybe not Richards ;-), but ya never know. I'm keeping my fingers crossed, though my choices for long extended life may be different than yours. Who knows, I may croak before many of them do ;-) . 

Her birth name was Perfect, and in every way, she lived up to it. Who remembers "Rather Go Blind," from The Legendary Christine Perfect Album, before she joined Mick and Mac? Believe I will close this night with her remarkable instrumental on "Did You Ever Love Me," from the otherwise forgettable Penguin album. Long before the band's renaissance with Buckingham/Nicks, Christine had soldiered on.
