A lot of us were wondering what he is up to these days.

Thanks for the death report.

Actually, Golden Earring is quite a significant band if you know your music history.
But a fan of useless, no context threads might not know music history.
@yesrutgers01 amirite?

Such feelings today.

You okay, KS?

alactualy was sad to post it, along with feeling sad seeing all the death notices posted .
But since we can't live forever, it's nice to see people care enough to post the notices about those we appreciated their talent and/or accomplishments in the past

I agree it’s a downer seeing all these death notices on a college football fan forum (in-season and out).

Always makes me wonder why so much death is reported here daily. Particularly when it happens to everyone eventually.

I don’t mind though. It makes me chuckle.

Enjoy the rest of your life. Live.

What you mean to say is that you have seen others mock the death threads so you feel comfortable mocking this one in hopes to gather allies who agree with this post for the next time you post BS attacks on Rutgers sports.

Thanks.

I have a slightly different take. Death threads serve a couple of useful purposes. Off topic banter. Remind people that death can happen suddenly and before expected, and to live every day full of joy and happiness. Any day above ground is a good one. Also, for the death threads on the famous and semi-famous- useful for people to recount and share memories of the person. In this case, Twilight Zone and Radar Love were pretty big songs. Many don't know that they were big enough to tour with Led Zeppelin and Hendrix.

also "During the peak popularity of "Radar Love" in 1973-74, Golden Earring headlined tours where they had Kiss and Aerosmith open for them.Lynyrd Skynyrd also opened for Golden Earring" ( not from memory> from google )
