Last Post Of 2016

It's been a long year and quite frankly I'm ready for it to be over. If you're going out to celebrate tonight, just have fun, be careful and don't drink and drive. Now, a little video tribute to some of the faves we lost this year:

David Bowie:

Prince:

Glenn Frey (The Eagles):

George Michael:

Paul Kantner (Jefferson Airplane):

Maurice White (Earth, Wind & Fire):

Keith Emerson and Greg Lake (Emerson, Lake and Palmer):

Nick Menza (Megadeth):

Didn't think I'd be back before 2017. Oh well. Let me add a few:

Dale Griffin: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ubBpu3MHmtM

George Martin (the 5th Bug): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wFPMrXpWX04

Jimmy Bain: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HwjUheA15Cs

Leonard Haze: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JL6FFrNJOfE

Lest you think adding to a list of loss is in poor taste, let me add: a random search of the internet provides you with an almost never-ending tale of musical woe. So I am just mentioning a few whose I thought about when I saw this post.

I suspect, however, that most of them would want us to focus on what they added to the world, not what we lost with their passing (even if most of us toggle between those extremes when it comes to a band or artist we love).

As I suggested in recent posts, we have a lot to be thankful for as the year ends and a lot to look forward to should we be so inclined. So I conclude (and concur with Allyson): have fun and be safe. See you next year.

Happy New Year to all.
And, Gary, yes, I saw what you did there on the previous post.

Allyson,
Thanks for doing what you do. I don't always agree, but am always entertained. Hope for a fantastic New Year for you and Bring Back Glam.

Thank you to all who post in the comments. Again, I don't always agree, but you guys keep me entertained and I've found cool new stuff here.

I'm at home, posting on Bring Back Glam on New Years Eve. Yep, that's what it's come to. I may not even make to midnight on the East Coast, but that's OK and I'm cool with that.

Guys! A belated belated Happy METAL New Year to Allyson and all who make coming on here such a pleasure!

p.s. And thanks for posting these cool videos, Al. That Jefferson Airplane cut from the Dick Cavett Show is particularly mind blowing!
