RIP Keith Reid


Good Obit on his passing in the NYtimes.  Never knew he was the poet behind it all.  Another Jewish person with a big impact on modern music.

I think it mattered to Richard Wagner. ;-)

Remember the Kinky Friedman (himself Jewish) song "They Ain't Makin' Jews Like Jesus Anymore"?

Christ, does it matter if he is a Jew?

if good music is written, don’t care if he glows in the dark nuggs!

 

 

He was a wonderful writer for Procol Harum.....  I especially liked his earlier, darker and/or early-Dylan-esque stuff....
