Dramatic but in a horrible way. I was 8 years old and watching the Indy 500 and Sweed Savage crashed his car and it burst into flames. One of his crew members ran to help and was hit by a firetruck and died instantly. Savage initially survived the crash but died in the hospital later.

I didn't get to talk to Bonnie Raitt when she was there but everyone who did said she was really nice.

I was working in a hotel in 1982 and Bonnie Raitt and her band and road crew stayed there. I saw them checking in at the front desk and I saw Ian McLagan, the keyboard player for The Faces, The Small Faces and the Rolling Stones on their 78 and 81 tours. I went up to him and said I was a big fan and asked him for his autograph. He said he was happy that I recognized him. He said "It boosts me ego." Several hours later it was 11PM and I was done working and ready to leave the hotel and I saw Ian walking into the hotel bar by himself. He saw me and asked me if I was still working. I said no I'm done for the day. He said: Care to join me in the pub for a few drinks? I did and talked and drank with him until the bar closed at 2AM.

He was great as Shoeless Joe Jackson in Field of Dreams too. RIP.

Dwight Yoakam in Slingblade also.

Dwight Gooden.

You took the words right out of my mouth. BAT OUT OF HELL... One of those rare albums where EVERY song on it is great.

The New York Dolls.

The obvious choices have been mentioned already so I'll go with ... Joe Strummer Joey Ramone Peter Wolf Phil Lynott

"What's Up?" (What's Going On) by 4 Non Blondes.

Neil Diamond said he wrote it about Caroline Kennedy, who was 11 years old at the time.

Love that movie!

That video was great. I can tell that was the 1981 tour by what Mick was wearing. The girls on stage were gorgeous. No facial piercing, tattoos or purple hair.

Me and my friend felt like we were VIPs wearing those tuxedos at the show. I wore it later that year on Halloween. Some day I might look though all the boxes of stuff I have in my garage and see if it's in there. If I find it I'll post a picture of it.

I've seen the Stones 10 times over the decades and the 78 show was my favorite. I liked them better when it was just the 5 Stones with the Ian Mclagan and Ian Stewart. The 81 tour was great too. Later tours they had backup singers and Mick did choreographed dance moves. I liked it better when Mick would just run all over the stage and jump around like crazy.

I bought a tuxedo at the Stones concert at Rich Stadium in 1978... maybe the same kind your friend had. It was blue and white, had the Stones logo on it and said: TuxEgo welcomes the Rolling Stones to Rich Stadium, July 4, 1978. I bought it in the parking lot for $10. After the concert, when I walked in my house wearing it my Mother said: How much money did you spend on that?

Just then I saw a young hawk flying And my soul began to rise And pretty soon my heart was singing Roll, roll me away I'm gonna roll me away tonight

Looks like Lou Costello wearing a wig.

I don't want to argue I ain't gonna budge Won't you take this number down before you call up the Judge? I don't want to argue There's nothing to say Get me out of your starry eyes and be on your way

My life's in jeopardy Murdered in cold blood is what I'm gonna be I haven't been home since Friday night and now my wife is coming after me

Hannah honey was a peachy kind of girl Her eyes were hazel And her nose was slightly curved We spent one lonely night At the Memory Motel It's on the ocean I guess you know it well

They arrested me and they put me in jail And called my pappy to throw my bail He said: Son you're gonna drive me to drinking If you don't stop driving that hot rod Lincoln

When I met you in the restaurant You could tell I was no debutante You asked me what's my pleasure A movie or a measure I'll have a cup of tea And tell you of my dreaming Dreaming is free
