He passed here in Portland, not far from my home. He'd just finished the West Coast leg of the Experience tour. Not quite Keith's dream of dying on stage, but a damned sight better than languishing in obscurity for decades a la Syd Barrett.

True. But it could have been in a hotel room at age 27. It wouldn't have been the first time or the last.

Yes, that's true too. Guess I'm just getting selfish with my rock icons in my old age. It hits me harder and harder when they leave this world.... Sad

Wish they could all have died of old age {so many...SO many would still be alive}.
