Cardinal Fang RIP
Mar 22^nd, 2013 at 3:29am

I don't know how many people knew Cardinal Fang,Jimmy Whitley.But Jimmy passed the other day and I feel a deep pain.Jimmy was a smart,friendly,fun,and generous friend I went to concerts with for the last 13 years.I just wanted to let everyone know and to send best wishes to Jimmy's Dad and sister.Jimmy lost his Mom two years ago and now hopefully he is talking with her as I type this.Thanks and loads of love to a great friend,Jimmy Whitley.

I remember calling on him to weigh in as technical expert on the ridiculous notion someone had that Jagger played guitar on Highway Child. Fang proved by algebra that it had to be Keith. RIP

RIP Jimmy !!!!!

The Jimmy Whitley ( Cardinal Fang ) was a great man ( Big Stones / Who Fan ) . We traded often in the late 1990's / 2000 .

This sucks --- I still remember his Little Smiley Face at the end of his signature

First Five " Flanagan Irish Reds " are for Jimmy tonight .

not much older than me, I'm 45… we hungout a bit in SF… I took him and Erin to see Rancid play, and they had a brief, but very intense love affair… I think that's known by most of us… if not, oops.
He had a big heart, really big… but seemed very troubled… sad news!!!

He turned 40 when we were dating, in 04, so he would have been turning 49 in June. It is sad. I hope he found happiness in the last years of his life. He really did have a great big heart. Like I said over at Disneyland, RIP, babe. Will always have a place in my heart for Mr. Whitley.
