Will it Go Round in a Circle; RIP Billy Preston
« on: June 06, 2006, 09:19:11 pm »
Beatles Collaborator Billy Preston Dead at 59.

I heard he was sick a few years ago, but then he kept turning up in new various projects so I assumed he had recovered.  Apparently not.  That's the Way God Planned it I guess.

I hope I never have to refer to a scone in spoken conversation.

That's a shame.  Didn't he play on Get Back?

Yes he did.  I know this because I just heard the story on NPR.  And now I have "Nothing from Nothing" stuck in my head.

Me too! I was just whistling it in the kitchen.

Social pressures exist
And if you think about them all of the time
You're gonna find that your head's been kicked in
You're gonna do it all for the grind
