In the last month or so -
Walter Becker's (Steely Dan) death (09-03-2017) was pretty prominent, but I don't believe got a mention here. A few others that I have at least a little personal affinity to: Holger Czukay (Bassist, founding member of Can) - Died 2 days after Walter Becker, 09-05-2017. John Abercrombie - Jazz guitarist - Died 08-22-2017. Goldie McJohn (Keyboardist, Steppenwolf) - Died 08-01-2017.

News reports are now saying that he is on life support. If the rumors are true, there is some hope.

"Found in his home in cardiac arrest."
Well, it is confirmed that Tom Petty is gone. There is no way this is fair. 66? Really? Breakdown... On a day full of death... So effing unfair... Edited by NoNukes, : No reason given. Under a government which imprisons any unjustly, the true place for a just man is also in prison. Thoreau: Civil Disobedience (1846) I was thinking as long as I have my hands up they’re not going to shoot me. This is what I’m thinking they’re not going to shoot me. Wow, was I wrong. -- Charles Kinsey We got a thousand points of light for the homeless man. We've got a kinder, gentler, machine gun hand. Neil Young, Rockin' in the Free World. Worrying about the "browning of America" is not racism. -- Faith I hate you all, you hate me -- Faith

Probably an unknown to non-Canadian members, but for me The Tragically Hip were the music of my high school and university years. So glad i got to see them on their final tour.

The rhythm-and-blues legend who became one of the progenitors of rock 'n' roll and reportedly sold more than 65 million records along the way died Tuesday at the age of 89.
The Fat Man Edited by Phat, : No reason given.Chance as a real force is a myth. It has no basis in reality and no place in scientific inquiry. For science and philosophy to continue to advance in knowledge, chance must be demythologized once and for all. —RC Sproul "A lie can travel half way around the world while the truth is putting on its shoes." —Mark Twain " ~"If that's not sufficient for you go soak your head."~Faith Paul was probably SO soaked in prayer nobody else has ever equaled him.~Faith

First concert I ever went to when I was 16 years old was AC/DC at the Toronto Skydome. My ears were ringing for a day and a half.
