Jim Gordon has Passed On...


He was never released from custody after murdering his mother. He'll be remembered best for being the drummer with Derek and the Dominos, but he played with the Byrds, Beach Boys and others. I know that you're wearing black today @bdp24. Sad ending.

Czarivney. you stated "Fortunately he was locked up and bothered no one with his occasional schizoid aggressions." As a person who spent many decades working in Corrections, I can assure you the risk correctional staff live with being around such folk 24 hours a day, every day qualifies those brave staff as being way more than "no one".

No offense taken, but when dangerous people are incarcerated they don’t disappear, or no longer present a danger. That’s a common misperception. But try being around a whole institution of them on a daily basis, and in short order you’ll not feel that way any more. Sorry if I’ve gotten to far afield on this thread, but it struck a chord in my life.

@tweak1 all i can say is thank God you got out of that situation and I hope you are at peace. 

it took some psycho therapy and Adult Child of Alcoholic classes, but thanks. I came to peace with it long ago. I should have closed with that and don't criticize until you've walked a mile in their shoes

I'd still categorize him as very good, but not great...that's a strong word; but we all have different tastes.
