RIP Ric Ocasek

Tommy Stinson was 7 years younger than his brother and Paul Westerberg. Not that many years except when you consider that Tommy was touring at 14 when his brother and Paul were 21.

That Tommy Stinson is a functioning adult is nothing short of remarkable in light of what he saw and did during his adolescence.

Derek Trucks was 20 when he joined the Allman Brothers, younger than any of the original members were when they formed the band decades earlier.

Mark Knopfler is a lefty who plays right-handed. Joe Strummer and Elvis Costello too, I think.

 

[Starman]

Cobain.

 

[Huggy]

Not on the level of a lot of guys on that list but a damned talented musician: Doyle Bramhall II

Loved this song from it:

If Ocasek is rocking a mullet hairpiece in that video, I am truly awed and impressed.
