I look at this as a death of sorts.

Hell of a follow-up here. Sounds like the dude behind Robert’s Western Wear across the street tried to buy it to continue the legacy and then things got massively messy.

Not exactly a musician, but someone who got up close and personal with many of them:

Cynthia Albritton, better known as Cynthia Plaster Caster, for her artistic creations of plaster molds of musicians "instruments" (aka skin flutes).

Also provides me the opportunity to gratuitously post the KISS song she inspired:

 

[Junkie]

That's actually a very good album and a really good song.

 

[Neutral Corner]

Leader of the Chicago Plaster Casters. Big time groupie indeed.

For some reason the radio station I am listening to is playing a block of Dolly Parton songs. I had to check if she died.

I wish I could have banged her.

Did not realize she also inspired Jim Croce to write a song about her (“Five Short Minutes”).

Leader of the Chicago Plaster Casters. Big time groupie indeed.

Maybe the most famous groupie died last year.

I disagree. Pam Des Barres or Tawny Kitaen would probably be #1. Connie's a top 5 though.

Bebe Buell is in there somewhere as well.
