I'm surprised he made it this far. What a 'Heartbreaker'.

Dying at 68 years old is relatively young for a rock musician who made it past the 20 to 40 years old at risk period.

I know Mick Jagger stays in pretty good shape but I will admit Keith Richards proves your point.

I guess it can be interpreted in whatever direction your political views take you.

Saw Ten Years After at The Kinetic Playground on Chicago's north side in 69 or 70. They were great.

Maybe we can just forget about politics and remember the man and his music.

No, my comment was not political at all and was not intended to start or fan a political argument. It is a great song. Your posting of that song just reminded me of the lines and different take one can deduce from those lines.

Say it ain't so! He was my first 'guitar god,' I'll never forget Goin' home!, and thinking how can anyone be that fast! Buddy of mine (who was actually very good with a guitar) had a Gibson ES-335 exactly like Alvin Lee - without all the stickers.

I did not write those lines, and I was just saying the song was interesting, on top of being a good song, because it created a puzzle when it contained those lines that can be interpreted both ways.
