Tim Bachman of BTO passed at 71

Guitarist from Bachman Turner Overdrive was added to the growing list of lost musicians last Friday. He had been fighting cancer and succumbed just a few days ago April 28th. BTO was a big influence on my rock tastes in music and it saddens me to see so many of my generation passing. Not that they were still making music, but that an era that contributed to my love for music is closing each year.

And what are we left with?

A bunch of flaccid, soulless, money-grubbing, fame-seeking plagiarists.

Ever wonder why there are so many "oldies" radio stations?

That is entirely wrong. The list of phenomenal and unique musicians is larger than you can imagine. You've just only been too deep into the RnR with the stereotype just quoted above. I've lived in many areas of USA and only noted few oldies around so never found any oddities there. Besides, not really interested in neither Elvis or Donnie and Marie or even Cher.
