Running RIP thread for musicians who died in 2022

Procol Harum Frontman Gary Brooker Dead at 76

Nobody sounded quite like Brooker. His voice had a certain stateliness that was unmatched. I loved his work, especially in collaboration with guitarist Robin Trower.

I look at this as a death of sorts.

Coming soon (I'm sure) another fake honkey tonk named after a bro country singer with an Applebees menu and $16 cocktails for bachelorettes from Indianapolis getting blisters from their first pair of cowgirl boots. Yee haw.

I'm surprised Jack White didn't buy it just to save it from that fate.

A Soundgarden song came on the radio on the way to work this morning, and I realized that with Lanegan's death, the only early-'90s Seattle grunge frontman still alive is Eddie Vedder, and he only moved to Seattle to join Pearl Jam. Cobain, Staley, Cornell, Lanegan (and Seattle-adjacent Scott Weiland) are all gone.

And Pearl Jam only exists because Andrew Wood of Mother Love Bone died.

My money's on John Rich.

I wonder if he has that kind of money. Third Man is kitty-corner from the Union Mission and within sight of Big Giant Art Supplies Quonset. Not exactly in the most expensive part of Downtown Nashville, or at least it wasn't when he bought it.

Too late. He's got a place two blocks down Broadway towards the river.
