Okay, I'm going to hell for that joke.
One of the saddest rock stories ever, alas -- it's amazing he lived as long as he did. The bottom line, however -- as I've said here on numerous happier occasions -- is that the Easybeats deserve to be thought of as right up there with the whole Stones/Who/Kinks pantheon, which is to say along with any great Sixties band who wasn't The Beatles.
Seriously -- they were that good.

"Sorry" is the one I like.
At least that song is great. I have never been able to locate a GOOD SOUNDING Easybeats collection on CD. Does anybody know of one?
No, Steve, hell is for people who have NO sense of humor.
