Tim Bachman of BTO passed at 71

Guitarist from Bachman Turner Overdrive was added to the growing list of lost musicians last Friday. He had been fighting cancer and succumbed just a few days ago April 28th. BTO was a big influence on my rock tastes in music and it saddens me to see so many of my generation passing. Not that they were still making music, but that an era that contributed to my love for music is closing each year.

"In fact Rock N Roll is pretty much dead."

And what are we left with?

A bunch of flaccid, soulless, money-grubbing, fame-seeking plagiarists.

Ever wonder why there are so many "oldies" radio stations?

Also to tony1954’s point,I would add, then why are so many classic rock albums being remastered and re-released on audiophile pressings? It’s what I listen too 85-90 percent of the time, if I’m dead, rigor hasn’t set in….completely.

BTO was one of the best.  I would've thought Tim was older than 71. RIP
