Maybe it is because I recently had a friend die. Perhaps it has something to do with my Mother in Law passing away last month. I am sure Tom Petty’s unexpected death last year might be playing a part. Then again, it could be nothing more than the fact that I am 65 years old and aware that I have fewer years ahead than behind. For whatever reasons, I have been thinking a lot about death so I thought I would just open the microphone and share some of the metaphysical musings that have recently moved into the neighborhood directly above my neck.
In another lifetime, I played drums in a band called “Whalebone”. Our lead guitarist/front man was a dynamic showman by the name of Dez Dickerson. After leaving the band in 1974 to pursue my newfound radio passion, Dez hooked up with an up and coming phenom named Prince. It has been fun, over the years, hearing him trade vocals on songs like “1999” and “Little Red Corvette” and watching him front his own band in the film “Purple Rain”. I am happy we were able to finally reconnect. What you are about to hear is the first time we have talked in 45 years!
