RIP Little Richard

With the death of Little Richard yesterday at age 87, real rock and roll music might not be gone.

But it definitely might be fading a bit, that's for sure.

There are a few rock and roll practicioners still around.

Like that guy in all the jokes that end with "...and a cockroach".

And three or four people that guy knows.

Don't want to name anybody.

Just because...you know.

But Little Richard was a musical genius.

Who did not give a damn what people thought of him, musicwise or lifewise.

And in the end, classics like Tutti Fruitti, Good Golly Miss Molly and Lucille will live on forever.

And as music fans, isn't that all we can ask?
