I feel old. All my heroes are moving on. RIP Lou.
'Then' and 'than' are completely different words and have completely different meanings. Same with 'of' and 'have'. Set and sit. There, their and they're. Draw and drawer. Could care less/couldn't care less. Bought/brought FFS.

I've done a lot of things in my life that I'm not proud of...and the things I AM proud of, "are disgusting"

An innovator and again my youth is slipping away.
Dedicated to Sgt. Howard Bruckner 1950 - 1969. KIA LONG KHANH.

But we were boys, and boys will be boys, and so they will. To us, everything was dangerous, but what of that? Had we not been made to live forever?

Great memories of those hazy smoke filled rooms as we took a walk on the Wild Side back in the 70's.
RIP Lou.

Not being disrespectful by any means, but seeing a few current pics he looked much older. It's sad but rockers aren't know for living to a ripe old age.

Heard he died due to possible issues with a liver transplant earlier this year.

I am certainly a fan of the V.U., and from what I have read, I am surprised he lived to be 71
If it works good, it looks good...
