    When was the last time anyone heard of a rock and roller living to be REALLY old. They all seem to die young. Sex, drugs/booze, rock'n'roll and hard/fast living must take it's toll.

    RIP Billy. I enjoyed your music.

    A little off topic, but with Billy's passing, who is left from the original band?
    Oh, you hate your job? Why didn't you say so? There's a support
    group for that. It's called EVERYBODY, and they meet at the bar.

    Wow...this is the first I've heard of this one. That's to bad...It seems like there's been a lot of that going around lately. There have been a lot of really significant people dying these last couple years. I guess that'll always be happening though.

    To bad...he was a great keyboard player.

    Bob Burns is still alive and kickin in the metro Atlanta area. I still see him and Marsha every 2 weeks or so. Bob was the original drummer for Skynyrd.
