ZOMG, more celebrity deaths!!!!!!

the end is near! repent!

 

So much history in that name.

 

There was quite a lot of talk in our local (Milwaukee) media about Les Paul - he's considered a hometown favorite - born just outside of Milwaukee in Waukesha.

Fantastic contributor to the world of music, and he got along with many artists. One story I heard yesterday was that he wrote a letter to Eric Clapton complimenting Clapton on his style. Wonder if Clapton kept the letter?

 

saw him play at House of Blues in Cleveland a few years ago. what a legend.

 

he's the original guitar hero!

 

And this one is actually of importance...at least as far as I am concerned.

I agree aswell, and its the kinda stuff that pisses me off....seeing that the death of a tranny-looking,dope fiend like jackson gets more media coverage an attention than someone who defines Music in such a way as Les Paul did with the Electric guitar.
