Damn!

I have their 1983 album Eliminator on the original vinyl. Their greatest hits CD is in my regular rotation.

What really hurts is he was a few months younger than me. RIP Dusty!

Vinyl is going through a Renaissance right now. Record shops aroud here are selling only pristine records at ungodly prices. Simon and Garfunkel's greatest hits was $75!

Kim and I scour antique malls for vinyl. Estate sales too.

I know what you mean about age. Cubano67 (Ed Guevara) died not long after Katrina. He was 4-5 days younger than I.

Such a good band.
A buddy of mine had tickets to see them here in Macon in a few months. I think they're going to tour without him, so we'll see what happens. Ain't gonna be the same for sure.

I was thinking, damn, we’re going to miss the ZZTop show in Vegas by two weeks. Now there will be nothing to miss. RIP Dusty Hill. I was fortunate enough to see them in the past. Awesome show.
