If you could bring back one great artist that has
I'm old enough to remember the death of Buddy Holly. Yup, that's old so I've seen the passing of many rock and roll heroes.Instinctively, I'd say John Lennon because The Beatles are far and away my favorite band. Now I like Lennon's solo work and ...
