Speedofsand;810478 wrote:really? I knew the peach truck story was wrong. I wish I could remember where I heard that when Duane said 'eat a peach' he was talking about girlfriends in Georgia. Something about Vietnam, make love not war. It's been too many years ago I heard the story.


You are very close. In an interview shortly before he died in 1971, Duane was asked what he was doing to help the revolution to which he replied "There ain't no revolution, it's evolution, but every time I'm in Georgia I eat a peach for peace." The album's name was originally slated to be The Kind We Grow in Dixie and the artwork for the album showed a peach. Band members were dissatisfied with the name and the image suggested Duane's quote instead.

I've always been amazed that people are so quick to believe the "killed by a peach truck" story. As if Duane's own brother and friends would make a joke that tasteless in naming the album they were working on when he died.

Duane allman quote before he died

Suffragette city


Curly got Timmy Schmit before you, but you were right on Eat a Peach and the Bowie song.

At the time Timothy B Schmit was a former Eagles member as they broke up in 1980. He sat in after the band was broken up. (well on a 14 year vacation or what ever you want to call it).

Damn Gibby, most of this stuff occurred before you were born.

I don't really consider Will Rogers to be a musician. I was going with 10 originally, with Glenn Miller and SR Vaughn, but Vaughn doesn't really count and I figured Miller was too dated.

Curly has my line of thinking. Schmit was a former member at the time he sat in for Crosby.

I was going to jokingly say Glenn Miller. I guess he was a 'rocker' back in the day when Big Band was the music of choice. I guess that would be Ultra Classic Rock. ;)

The only remaining answer is for #10. Ex-members of Free, Mott the Hoople, and King Crimson formed Bad Company in 1973.

Well, that question kind of covered many genres just because of that type of death being somewhat legendary for musicians in general. Country singer Jim Reeves also died in a plane crash, but I left him off.
