The 60s legends are all in their 80s now. Next few years will be brutal.

I just wrapped up my work on @soundopinions.bsky.social special episode on Sly Stone! Now one of five other people who would merit a special episode died, too...

It's just mind-boggling.

sterlewine.bsky.social•9 days ago

It really is. I was in the thick of thinking and writing about Sly and then this blindsided me.

Two of probably the ten most important musicians to my listening life. It's only Wednesday.

Easily two of the top candidates in the “best living American music artist” conversation gone. Stevie’s lonely at the top now

Maybe the "Rapture" is not for the folks hanging out in church, but for those of us who make the World sound better.

…And this is how I found out about Brian Wilson’s death. 😞

So so sorry--that's one of the curses of social media.

maryecovey.bsky.social•9 days ago

It’s totally okay! I mean, there are definitely worse ways to find out about celebrity deaths. I just hope he gets the kind of peace now that he so often and so clearly didn’t get here on Earth. 🥺

I know! So sad. One of my favorite soap stars also died today...Chris Robinson from GH.
