Ginger Baker today looks only a few years older than he did in ‘69.
To: mononymous
Oh my. RIP.
Just watched a docu on Ginger Baker. “Beware of Mr. Baker”. Highly recommend.
To: Right Brother
Until you see him try to walk. He’s definitely suffering from old age.

Great doc, though rather depressing. It’s can be sad how the madness of genius wrecks guys lives.

Saw him with Cream as a teenager, then later when he teamed up with Leslie West for West, Bruce and Lang. Both great concerts.

We met Cream (very briefly) in a restaurant near Boston in ‘67.Funny story...my Dad,who was quite old fashioned,asked the waiter who those hairy individuals at a nearby table were.He said he'd check...came back shortly thereafter and said that they were a group called “Cream”.I had heard of them because there was a station in Boston playing their songs.

Cream bassist Jack Bruce dies, aged 71 These days 71 is kinda young. The last time I saw him on TV, probably a couple of years ago, he looked pretty rough. That rock and roll lifestyle is not conducive to longevity, "Live fast, die young".

RIP. Great band
I am still amazed Michael Jackson is dead, and Keith Richards is still with us.
