Heart attack at age 74.
It is “After Midnight” in music today. 
That hurts to hear - a loss for all of us.
RIP
But did people think he was bitter?
Just saw on crawler, damn. Every rocker I knew in college had him in their collection. He was quite a personalty too, I’d love to have been able to hang out. Thank you kindly, Slowhand.
What a bummer. Wish I had a gram to toast to him. I loved that tune!
Eta; “for” Slowhand.
Wow. Cocaine. Bye, dude.
Missed edit:
ETA, from his site:
Personally, I’m gonna let it all hang out.
I always thought his song, “Cocaine” could be reworked into a great Rogaine commercial:
“If your dome is all chrome, you better take some home: Rogaine!”
He has finally completely perfected the art of being laid back!
Seriously, its a sad loss, but if anybody could pull of being dead with real style it would be J.J.
If your hair is gone, and you wanna comb on, Rogaine
Don’t forget this fact, you can grow it back, Rogaine
Head don’t shine, head don’t shine, head don’t shine…Rogaine
mmm
“Bye, Bye, Blue …
You good dog you …”
I reckon I will listen to some JJ Cale while I work this afternoon.
I’m gonna shake my tambourine.
