I knew there was a thread I should have posted in rather than start another; but couldn't find it or remember the title. He deserves his own thread anyways.
As stated above though his death seemed a bit more personal to me; not only were they one of my favorite bands while coming of age but
whenever I hear one of their songs I think of my late brother Tom, who described them as "The. Best. Band. Ever."

Tom Sawyer, Subdivisions, and Limelight comes to mind

I heard a song by Richie Valens on Sirius today. I couldn't tell you what it was but he was a talented musician.
