…Dee Dee, found dead in L.A.

I am feeling sad and old.

I just finished reading _Please Kill Me: An Oral History of Punk_ by Legs McNeil and Gillian Somthing or other. Great book, and based on it, it is not particularly surprising that Dee Dee finally found a way out. It sounds like he lived quite a life (hustling on the streets, lots of fights, a diverse array of drugs - any of which should’ve fried his brain).

But the music was great.

I guess he finally got sedated.

The few, the proud…and unfortunately fewer now. ☹

And how is it we’re still stuck with Keith Moon, but Dee Dee can OD?

Grr. Sad.

I suspect you mean Keith Richards not Keith Moon (since the other Keith is long gone 😉

Yet another (still with us) Keith
