He can check out any time he'd like.
But he can never leave.

Well, it used to be month #11, so make of that what you will.

That was Don Henley's song... wait a minute. Someone go check on him. The way this freakin' month has been going...

I think George R.R. Martin is writing the script for this year.

David Bowie, Glenn Frey - and Dale Griffin (drummer for Mott The Hoople).

McCartney and Ringo better make sure they're taking their vitamins...

Dallas Taylor (drummer for CSNY), and Mic Gillette of Tower of Power. :(

Wait. Mic died?!? Son of a bitch! ToP is one of my favorite bands.

Yeah, unfortunately. He helped raise a lot of money for school music programs in my area over the years, so his death was all over the news here.

Well, I felt it less appropriate to quote "The Heat is On."

The only reason anyone under 40 remembers Mott the Hoople is because of Clueless.

I have never heard of them. I guess I am clueless.

I assume that a certain corner in Winslow Arizona is going to be filled with tributes today.

I'll be honest: I didn't know the band name. I recognized the famous song, but I wouldn't have been able to put the band name with it.

Wait a tick. I think that it is @fade that is clueless. I don't see Mott on the soundtrack.

The soundtrack listing on IMDB bills it to Bowie, but it's Mott the Hoople. Bowie wrote All the Young Dudes, but MtH performed it originally. Apparently the version from Clueless was by World Party.

"The Heat is on" was a big song from my youth. I'd put it up there with "Eye of the Tiger" and "Axel F" for unmistakably 80's.

Protective circle around Sir Ian McKellen and Sir Patrick Stewart!!

This makes me so sad though....:( The Eagles are mine and my dad's band. We always listened to them together on road trips and I can't even think of their music without thinking of my dad. The Eagles were a big staple in my childhood.

Now I want to see McKellen holding his Gandalf staff and Stewart with a phaser rifle and his flute tucked into his belt, both standing back-to-back all grim-faced on something like a pitcher's mound up to their ankles in the dead bodies of of Bowie, Fry, Rickman, Griffin, etc. with Keith Richards in the background booking for the exit (or alternately behind a glass window cackling with glee).

Maybe Keith Richards is Death, or has made a deal with Death to be taken last.

We also need to protect Stan Lee, at least until Avengers: Infinity War finishes production. Face front, true believers! The generalissimo must survive so we merry masses of Marveldom can bask in his beneficent brilliance for many more adventures to come! EXCELSIOR!

Considering how much stuff happens around him I'm surprised he's still alive.
