Jim Gordon has Passed On...


He was never released from custody after murdering his mother. He'll be remembered best for being the drummer with Derek and the Dominos, but he played with the Byrds, Beach Boys and others. I know that you're wearing black today @bdp24. Sad ending.

Greg,

Mental. Illness. Not a “lifestyle choice”.  The tragedy is how poorly the medical profession and our society cope with the reality that some people are unbalanced and potentially dangerous to the people in their lives.  
By your reckoning we should also “erase” the Phil Spector “Wall of Sound” productions like Walking in the Rain, RiverDeep, Mountain High, and You’ve Lost That Loving Feeling.  IMO it’s better to keep sight of the positive contributions of troubled people. Yeah, I know…John Wilkes Booth was a hell of an actor….
