Oh my God...
Greg, (and Suzie), and I were very close during the pop revival '70's. He
was a brilliant, driven, and demonized individual nor unlike all the other
creative visionary's I have known in my life. He, along with Ken Barns,
Sperrazza!, Lester Bangs, Joe Fernbacher, Lenny kaye, and a handful of
lesser knowns, were the only people that got pop when Led Zeppelin and their
ilk were over running the airwaves.
I am shocked and saddened by this news.
He was the man the put thr Bomp in the
bomp-de-bomp-de-bomp-rama-lama-ding-dong.
Shit...
