You're taking me back now PMS, how about Julia Dream? and see Emily play? The girl that introduced me to ummm....girls and weed and alcohol was also a huge pink floyd fan, she transitioned me from KISS and top 40 pop to real music. The ages 12, 13 and 14 were my best years, good tight group of close friends....3 boys and 2 girls ( it worked somehow) exploring partying and kissing and tight boobs, The summers seemed to last forever.

And so the Great Die Off begins.

I ran into him once, a very long time ago, at the now-defunct Riverside Raceway, east of Los Angeles. He was just beginning to get interested in car racing.

I had a pit pass, and I was standing on the other side of the car he was next to, talking with the driver. His charisma was incredible. You could almost feel it. The sun seemed to shine brighter on him. His aura was so strong it seemed like it was visible.

It was downright eerie. I've never seen anything like that before or since.

Mark Cornett said that Powell called 911 just before 1 a.m. complaining of difficulty breathing. Paramedics found him unresponsive in his bedroom still holding the phone. They performed CPR but he was pronounced dead at 1:52 a.m.

Powell reportedly missed a Tuesday appointment with his doctor for a cardiac evaluation. A heart attack is suspected. An autopsy will not be performed, according to Cornett.

Billy Powell was my personal favorite rock n roll piano player. His solo work on Sweet Home Alabama, I Know a Little and others is loud and proud!

Another classic talent gone.
