My favorite larger than average music man is Solomon Burke. He has his
own throne.

Rod Price, the lead guitarist for Foghat, must have been near the 350
mark around 1998. But by the time of his second solo album 'Open', he
too had slimed down considerably. He still croaked of a heart attack a
couple of years later, so I guess none of it really made any
difference. I'll stick with those two inch thick steaks, myself. When
it's your time to exit, you will.

I also liked the way Iz sang "Somewhere Over The Rainbow".

Here's a repost of a Youtube tribute to IZ... with over 2 million
views:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PL-uL2M3xvM&feature=related
Another Youtube tribute to IZ has nearly 5 million views. I only
mention it because it got me to wondering about what sort of memorial
tributes we give our musical heroes. If you go about 3:30 minutes
into the above link, you'll see the celebration for the scattering of
Israel Kamakawiwo'ole's ashes into the sea. This isn't a party just
for family or for an elite tribe -- this was a celebration of joy for
whoever could make it to the beach that day... those who loved IZ.
Not to be morbid, but what sort of celebration awaits Bob? Anything?
How was Jerry Garcia memorialized? John Lennon got candle-light
vigils from a mourning fanbase who despaired over the sudden and
untimely and violent loss -- was there also a joyful celebration for
the goodness he brought during his life?
For some reason or other, I seem to be spending my day here talking
about the islands.

25-30,000 people turned out on a glorious San Francisco Sunday in
Golden Gate Park to celebrate the life of Jerry Garcia. Around the
country gatherings spontaneously sprung up as well as they had for
John Lennon.
