    Shit. Played the hell out of Mountain’s first 2 albums in my younger days. “Theme to An Imaginary Western” was such an under rated classic.
    RIP, big man.

    Nothing made my boomer dad madder than when I heard Mississippi Queen on the radio in the early 1990s and called it “that beer song.”

    "The Great Fatsby," a nickname he took to heart to the extent of titling one of his solo albums in 1975.
    In 1970, you'd probably have given 50-50 odds he'd live 20 more years; but I guess he was playing shows up until fairly recently.
