R.I.P. Rick Derringer

Great all around musician. Should have been inducted into the Rock 'n' Roll Hall of Fame before he passed away.

    Political Correctness'.........defined

    "A doctrine fostered by a delusional, illogical minority and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a t-u-r-d by the clean end."

    I saw Rick Derringer in the mid-70’s playing at a small bar called The Rafters in the middle of nowhere in Central Wisconsin. He totally kicked azz, and literally had the standing room only crowd hanging from the rafters. It was outstanding in every way. I had been a fan of his since the McCoys through the Johnny Winter And days and his solo work. That video of Hang On Sloopy posted above was made for the rerelease of the song in the 70’s but I think it may have only been rereleased in Europe, but at any rate that hot babe in the video got something like $300 for her bit. Great song and she makes the video smoking hot. Rick was a great guitarist who was vastly under appreciated. RIP.
