RIP Billy Powell, Lynyrd Skynyrd keyboardist
« on: January 28, 2009, 09:19:10 AM »
Of an apparent heart attack in Orange Park, FL. He was 56.

He had an appointment with his cardiologist on Monday, but didn't show up. Gee, think it might have made a difference?
Let's get right to it.

Holy cow, there's irony, and then there's IRONY.
