More than a feeling
I just read (here) where the lead singer of the band Boston died. Brad Delp was 55. I was not really a big fan of theirs, but... it was my "era" ya know.
It would also be misleading to say I was a "fan" ... and yet I was. I have a CD of theirs somewhere, purchased because I could remember a pleasant Saturday afternoon on a friend's driveway, tuning up the motorcycles and listening to their first album (might even have been on an 8-track, but I wouldn't swear to it).
Yeah, I'm more a fan of the era and the memories than the particular band. I always used to get Boston and BTO and several others confused. And it didn't seem to matter. 55 IS young!

55 is young, to my mind. Sad news.
