Bill Cowsill died in 2006 at age 58, basically of the consequences of his lifestyle in the first 4 or 5 decades of his life (I'm not being critical or "dancing on his grave", just summarizing the several health problems that lead to a rather early death). Sounds like he was quite talented, as a guitarist, singer, and producer.

You know what they say, 'it's better to burn out, than it is to rust".

Making them meet in the middle, that's the real trick.

I have that song on my iPod.

I had to use a seearch engine to learn who he was, but I heard yesterday that another founding member of Lynyrd Skynyrd died in a car crash a couple of days ago. (http://www.bbc.com/news/entertainment-arts-32188511)

I couldn't tell the difference between Cassidy and Donny Osmond. They were both putrid, Cassidy more so. Maybe that's why I began calling that show "The Putrid Family". Or maybe I stole it from this:
