Jack Russell

From the NTY

”Jack Russell, the singer who led the popular 1980s hard rock band Great White as well as a spinoff group, which set off one of the deadliest nightclub fires of all time, died on Aug. 7 at a family member’s home in Southern California. He was 63.

The cause was Lewy body dementia and multiple system atrophy, said K.L. Doty, who collaborated with Mr. Russell on his autobiography.”

One of my oldest belived friends has rapid Lewy Body dementia. It’s horrible for all (family).

That's a silly and superstitious belief.

@dayglow 

Attention seeking and irrelevant? What are you talking about? I was my opinion.

@roxy54 

I don't think common courtesy and respect for the dead is either silly or superstitious.

Would you tell the bride at a wedding that her dress is ugly?

Hadn't heard the news, always enjoyed the band and saw the group a few times. Glad to have the recordings I do...

I believe that if he was still alive and had just released an album that you disliked, you would (justifiably) feel free to say so. My comment was pretty mild. I simply said that I didn’t think that he was great. Few musicians are.

If you consider that an insult just because he has passed on, I will repeat what I already said; that is superstitious. I think it’s based on that old "only speak well of the dead" belief.
