With the passing of Prince yesterday I was again transported
back to when I was a kid and the Righteous Brothers had a hit
called Rock and Roll Heaven. In it the guys say "If there's a
rock and roll heaven you know they have a helluva band". Rock
and Roll Heaven had Otis Redding and Jimi Hendrix. In the years
to come John Lennon and Freddy Mercury joined the gang while
Jim Morrison smokes in the corner. The Elvis of the 80's generation
released 33 albums of varied styles and acceptance. His guitar playing
even impressed Eric Clapton. Rock and Roll Heaven got another
impressive guitarist and artist. Move over one chair Lonesome Dave
give the man a seat!

Dear Big AL,
do you remember when I had "who would play that in one set" in about nine out of ten comments? I think I'm having a Rockcast flashback. A fine example of blues storytelling by Ben Harper and later Alvin wit his friend Hempton caught in da riddim, to combine that is so cool, it should probably be illegal.
