RIP -- You know they've got a helluva band

I was big into 80s metal/hair bands, so it is with regret that I mark the passing of singer Jani Lane ofWarrant at the age of 47. Rock on, dude.

OH NO! 47??? YIKES! I remember when Cherry Pie was absolutely ubitquitous on MTV---back in their actual music video playing days.

Yup. I remember those days, and staying up til the wee hours on Saturday (because I had no life) watching Headbanger's Ball.

??? I know Bret Michaels (another blond 80s rocker) is a lifelong diabetic, but I have no idea about this guy.

This is the kind of thing that makes me feel OLD: It was bad enough when it was people dying that I grew up with, like Jack LaLanne or Liz Taylor, but people my age or younger?! Oy.
