Jesus Christ, RIP you ****ing legend. One of the greatest to ever do it. Here's one of my favorite Shorter compositions from Miles' 'Nefertiti' album

Now that there are no more original members left in the band, I guess Lynyrd Skynyrd has finally become a Lynyrd Skynyrd tribute band.

A second plane has hit Skynyrd.

RIP Jerry Samuels (Napoleon XIV) who reportedly passed today.

Jerry was famous for his long-standing hit, "They're Coming To Take Me Away, HA-HAAA!", a fan favorite on The Doctor Demento Show.

Pictured are my copies of his 1966 debut LP featuing the hit as well as my 7" novelty single with "!ɒɒɒH-ɒH ,γɒwA ɘM ɘʞɒT oT ϱnimoƆ ɘɿ'γɘ⑁T" printed on the b-side (which appropriately plays the song in reverse).

Aw, RIP.

I still remember the first time I heard that song. We were on a road trip for a family vacation in 1999 and frantically searching for a radio station once our local ones were no longer reachable. We tuned to a station that was playing the song and I remember my initial reaction being "what the hell is this" but it being captivating and mesmerizing all the same.

My sister, who was only 7 at the time, was terrified.

Not to mention a nice piece of Zappaesque psychedelia.
