It is frustrating livin in a cast, and then for the most part of 13 months now. Sigh. My whine for the day - I hate wearing a cast! How can I have the densest bones ever recorded and still be constantly breaking the bones with the same readings?!?!?!? I am sure you medical types have an explaination, I will just have to go with Kris is stupid and it is my curse ... sigh ...
So, surfing around the web early on this morning and found that Rob Grill had died. Who (you say?).
Yeah, not exactly a well known name. Everyone knows the names of each of the Beattles or Led Zepplin or The Raiders - but who knows the name of the man whose songs and group were on the American top 40 longer than anyone, longer than even the Beattles and at the same time as their popularity peaked?
Rob Grill was the front man of the Grassroots, one of my favorite groups from the 70's and I had always thought they were a local to the Boulder area of Colorado. Well, I guess they were just in the Denver area quite a bit so that it seemed they were local!
And I found out he had died three years ago! Really? Well, that last three years have been hell so I guess I can forgive myself for not knowing. But, such a sad loss. Yeah, he was in his late 60's but that is kind of young anymore it seems. Well, you take a blow to the head, go into a coma, have several strokes because of those injuries ... and well ... yeah ... longevity is now over.
How sad ... But, just a little something to remember him by for those of you whom did not know him:
