Tikimikey-

yep, that explains it dude. I forgot that I got older.

There is a great link on the KLOS-FM (Los Angeles) web page with a tribute to JJ. Great photos of JJ with Keith Moon, Daltrey, Towshend, Plant and others.

Also want to mention that JJ was part of that bygone era of FM radio when it was a medium for the people. When the audience could listen to the jocks and consider them reliable sources of music info and 'friends' to hang around with. For me this era ended in the late 80s, early 90s. Different world today. The voices on the radio aren't there and neither is the music. Classic rock radio is a bore, and the newer stuff is (hate to use this term) for kids....real young unsophisticated 'Jackass' generation kids.

Honey....can you get me my Geritol??
