If by a "couple days ago" you mean about 120....lol, Snare died in April.

My bad. Thought it was October 4th

I learned during the Cleveland ball game on Monday night that long time sportscaster Dan Coughlin had passed away.  I had conversations with him from time to time. 

It was a slow death

In a more WTF? one, I read a few days ago that Flea died. I was confused because I think it was the fourth of the  month I read it and it said he died the first and I was thinking if the RHCP's bassist died, I would have heard about it a lot quicker than three days after the fact.

So I read the article and it was a different bass player for some underground punk band who also went by the name "Flea" that died and not the famous one who is the only musician that 99.9% of people would think of when they heard the word "Flea" associated with music.

So, RIP to that guy. The other Flea.

No worries. I've posted deaths that popped up in my Facebook feed that happened years ago but the post made it look like it just happened.

Solid player. Remember watching him. Gastineau & Klecko reeked havoc on opposing O-Lines.

Damn, always really dug those two albums he was on. Different sound that what people associate with Maiden, but a lot of fun to jam.
