recognition

i've posted about the greatest rock bassist of all time before. but i've never acknowledged him directly and written a blog about him.

john entwistle. enough said.

and yet, it's not possible to over-praise him. it's a real tragedy that he's dead. in his own words, he continued improving his playing his entire life. where would he be now had he not gone out in true rock star style - dying from cocaine use in bed with a stripper in las vegas, on the eve of a new tour - back in '02? who knows. maybe we're not meant to know. a man can only become so great before the world just can't handle him anymore. if there is a heaven, he's playing bass with God now.
