Ken, Thank you for sharing this. I knew our BirdMan was not in good health, but incredibly sad to hear of his passing. Along with our great friend @bbb, you and I and a few other terrific people had quite a lot of fun posting and PM'ing here. Your picture with Tom is great. I remember you posting that not very long ago. It's a blessing that you two were able to get together. God bless Tom and his loving family. Sonic.

Nice post, Dan. I always enjoyed reading you and @bbb going back and forth. Quality entertainment that never failed to bring a smile to my face. Yes, he will be missed.

My first football hero. Remember collecting his football card back in the day. I think I might still have his rookie card from 1965(?) Anyway, it was the Brian Piccolo Story that first had me enamored to the great Gale Sayers.

Yes! Sat out in the pouring rain in the open-air lawn. One saving grace is that Bruce and the Band came out for a pre-show soundcheck of "Who'll Stop the Rain". It was my first experience of a live Bruce Springsteen show.

Missed it by a whisker. I was at the Saratoga Springs, NY show ten days prior.

I can't remember which meltdown event this occurred in over the past three and a half years, but I'm sure it was glorious.

Heck, I would marry him if he gave me a VG+ copy of the Butcher cover album.

Didn't Eddy copy them from Bruce?

Looks like Eddy might be the first copier of said lyrics. But, I don't think copiers should get all hot and bothered if they get copied. True dat?

Wait! He was on the Mets too?
