| Bob Welch, Mick Fleetwood, Christine McVie, John McVie |
An old favorite of mine,
Bob Welch, who played guitar and sang with
Fleetwood Mac (1971-1974) after its Peter Green blues period, but before it became the wildly successful overblown pop machine (not that there's anything WRONG with that), committed suicide in Nashville yesterday at 66. According to some stories, he had health issues that he didn't want his wife to be burdened with. Sad. After he sued them in the early 1990s for back royalties, The Mac froze him out of their R&R Hall of Fame induction in 1998. Screwed. His last album with Mac,
Heroes Are Hard to Find, was always on the turntable in the mid-70s. (
