This one hits hard. I have been a huge April Wine fan since the first time I heard "I Like To Rock" in 1980. Another good one is gone now along with another part of my musical heritage. RIP. https://ultimateclassicrock.com/myles-goodwyn-april-wine-dead/

He had hits in the 70's with Dream Weaver and Love Is Alive. I remember hearing both on the radio back when I was maybe 10 or 11 years old and I first got interested in rock music. He had Parkinson's and also dementia. Another good one is gone. RIP...

He's gone, no cause of death has been reported yet. He was the last living original member of Lynyrd Skynyrd. He survived the plane crash and had health problems the rest of his life. He was a great guitar player, and a good man that loved his family. Another good one is gone now. RIP Gary. Fly...

He was one of the original members and a co-founder of The Atlanta Rhythm Section. He played piano and keyboards and helped write a lot of their hits. He had to retire a couple of years ago but it is still very sad that he is gone now. I grew up listening to ARS in Georgia in the 70's and they...

He was the drummer for BTO, and brother of Randy Bachman. It happened earlier today, there is not much info online right now. BTO is one of my favorites, especially the 70's stuff. They were a good band and Robbie was a good drummer. I guess we can't stop it but I have had enough of the dying of...

I thought I would post here what I ran into when changing my oil today. Please know that I have absolutely no intention here of disparaging or bashing Fram, Autozone or AAP. If you reply here please keep that in mind, I would rather not see this thread locked and do not want to go against BITOG...

He played older brother Wally Cleaver on the tv show Leave It to Beaver. I remember reading a story not long ago about his cancer returning but had no idea it would be this soon. I grew up watching the old Beaver re-runs in the 70s, it was and still is a good show. I think Jerry Mathers is still...

BITOG'ers love a good/free deal so I thought I would put this on here, maybe some here know about it already, but Bitdefender has redesigned and rebuilt their Bitdefender Free antivirus. They retired the old BD Free as of Dec. 31st last year, end of support will be on June 30th this year. This...

He was the drummer for Foo Fighters. He also played in Alanis Morrissette's band. I am no fan of either group but I know we have some Foo Fighters fans here so I thought I would post this. It is very sad that we keep losing the talented rockers. He was only 50 years old and had a lot more of the...

He was one of the original founding members and guitarist in The Atlanta Rhythm Section. I grew up in Georgia, listening to ARS and I still listen to them today. They were a great band and big part of Georgia Music and Southern Rock. I wore out their live album "Are You Ready" when I was in high...

He was a great actor. I remember he was very good in The Big Chill and Children of a Lesser God. My favorite movie of his was probably not his most well-known, it was called The Doctor, about a conceited egotistical doctor who finally learns to see the patients' side of medical care when he...

I have a question please, I ordered oil and filters from Walmart for both of mine and my wife's Nissan Rogues. WM is out of the ST6607 that is normally spec'ed for the Rogue. I ordered the PH7317 equivalent ST9688. I received everything today, now I find out there may be a difference in bypass...

He says he is retiring, he has 5 shows lined up in Vegas, one on New Year's Eve then another 4 in early January next year. He says he is calling it quits after that. I think he is sick and has been told he will die in the near future. I hate to say that, even though I have never seen him live...

He was one of the original founding members of Kansas, and a great musician, live and in the studio. He sang and played the violin. Kansas was a monumental band, one of my absolute favorites and they had a huge effect on me in the 70's and 80's. Dust in the Wind will not be the same the next...
