That's a phrase I'm reading a lot lately from boomer posts about their musicians - many of whom I used to photograph and have posted images of on this site.
We lost two more last week - drummer Neil Peart of Rush and David Crosby of CSN (and sometimes Y):
1. Here's Neil at Radio City in 1983.
2. And here's David (right) with Graham Nash during a Crosby, Stills and Nash performance at Madison Square Garden on Halloween 1986 at the Crackdown benefit ("Crackdown on Crack"). Other performers included the Allman Brothers, Santana, Run-DMC, Mick Taylor, Felix Cavaliere and Tito Puente(!).
3. If you're interested, this is what the benefit was about.
4. You'll notice that Graham Nash is wearing a Crackdown artist's pass. Here's mine.
