I will be damn.
I actually met him in Atlanta at Mylon Lefevre’s house in 78 or so
Smoked weed with him...before Mylon got born again
they both preferred the marching powder...whereas I was always a budman...no, not the beer
long story..sure can’t go into here
I did not realize he was English till I met him...lol...very prominent jaw...sorta Sean Bean-ish
I’m Going Home still rocks...I made my kids watch it...like this is hollow body guitar rock boys..not sissy hipster crap
and of course I’d Love to Change the World was a hippie anthem on par with Come on People Now or Long Time Gone
humanity moves on baby....I’ll be seeing ya Alvin...middle age is now about 60 degrees to port as I still make sail..no denying that...even my “younger” wife is only one birthday from 50
where the hell did it all go ya’ll?
yea but he still gets the chicks...no offense
i see him around here in his jag
hear hear
though still for the death thread of someone from my generation
the forum is not being as cruel as say when i kids gets killed by fireworks or something
a lot of freepers are not really folks you want over for dinner
but you do want them at the rally
Who Richards....Isn’t he still happily married to Patti Hanson?
Songwriters: ALVIN LEE
Everywhere is freaks and hairies
Dykes and fairies, tell me where is sanity
Tax the rich, feed the poor
Till there are no rich no more
I’d love to change the world
But I don’t know what to do
So I’ll leave it up to you
Population keeps on breeding
Nation bleeding, still more feeding economy
Life is funny, skies are sunny
Bees make honey, who needs money, monopoly
I’d love to change the world
But I don’t know what to do
So I’ll leave it up to you
World pollution, there’s no solution
Institution, electrocution
Just black and white, rich or poor
Them and us, stop the war
I’d love to change the world
But I don’t know what to do
So I’ll leave it up to you
(yeah...the comments at the link are interesting, too.)
R.I.P. Alvin
Keith is still well with truly good Christian gal Patti
She is a rock for him
When she almost died they say he came apart
I understand that...i would too if i lost my rib
I remember her on Cosmo covers during the 80’s...models back then were real models, not like the trash that’s on the covers today. I’m glad to see rockers with good solid marriages.
I read Keith’s book “Life”, it’s amazing that despite all of the drugs and abuse, the guy is as sharp as a tack.
