NP - Musician RIP's or the P-list habitus

[rich]

fwiw, have no clue who Bley or Boulez were (no offense). more of a
Crim/Fripp universe fan myself. Lemmy, of course though I find it
interesting that many talk more about his lifestyle than about the music.
same thing happens with Hawkwind--more articles about sex groupies than
anything. and why motorhead is lumped and labelled heavy metal is beyond
me--even the man himself said it was only r-n-r.
