Nice tribute, Dan, to a guy I didn’t know but seems like he was one of the “good ones”. That treatment for ALS is mostly “non-existent” 84 years after Gehrig died is just a travesty.

P.S.-do you have the only Chuck Mangione T-shirt IN EXISTENCE?

I can see why that era of Golden Earring attracts you so much. I was unaware!

Their first album Just Earrings is more of a straight-ahead early Kinks blast, while their third (Miracle Mirror) is closer to late-sixties Bee Gees. All three are really great!

That sucks. I saw them open for White Zombie in a small club in 1996 or thereabouts

Great post, Dan. Wish I'd had the great fortune to have known Tim, but from your writing, I feel as though I kinda did.
