1. His version of Roadhouse from the movie absolutely kicks ass!
Great player, surely will be missed.

2. I didn't know he passed away
Damn that sucks. Back in the late 80's, a few people asked me if I was him. There was somewhat of a resemblance, I guess. Even though I'm not blind or a guitar player.

Guess he's singing "Angel Eyes" to the real angels now :(
