We lost a great one on this day in 1979.

R.I.P. You are truly missed

Great talent, greatly missed.

No more prophetic line in rock music than from Fatman In The Bathtub:

"Don't want no speedballs 'cuz I might die tryin' 'em"

Such a waste.

we have seen different on some things over the years, but our love for Lowell is a true commonality, right on bro.

here is a song that just "gets me" every time, a 2 minute gem

Man I just love Lowell. He has the same soul in his singing that Duane had in his playing. Of course he was a fine player also. RIP Lowell, Truly missed

Right on Tony, music is magic.

Another two minute gem, my favorite Lowell tune, "Sailin' shoes"...this version in studio with Linda Ronstadt....gives me da goose bumps on every listen...
