That's exactly right, livin. My Facebook feed is blowing up today with fan groups going back and forth. I have to admit, I've been fascinated watching it all unfold; I'm a sucker for human behavior on display -- the worse the better! -- and perhaps also feeling a bit nostalgic. Back in '97, when Marc and Johnny left, the same arguments, the same camps, the same antipathies, the same questions were all hashed out right here on this board for days that turned to weeks, then months, then years, and now decades. It's been about the debate, and the community -- about us -- for forever now.
: I'll say it again since no one else has yet.
: It's been over for a very long time.
: What we lost yesterday was the best TBC cover band around. Yes, I have enjoyed hearing them play, to a degree, a high degree even. I am not surprised by yesterday's events of dramatizing that which has not worthy of it, for the whateverth time. It's not news. When they need the money, they'll be back in whatever respect it turns out to be. You'll have your cover band back.
: Fuck you Amy Finkle.
: The requiem sharing is great. In my opinion, The Black Crowes touched the surface of and WERE in fact real rock n' roll. Astounding. Thirty years after rock had died, these guys were the real deal. It was, for about five years. We're very thankful for it. You're welcome Steve.
