No real details...

Apparently he passed away early today or yesterday.

ROCK CITY ANGELS are one of my all time favorite sleaze bands.

Sad.

Bummer.

Back in the late 80s, my old college roommate came to visit me in Jackson, TN. We drove the 70 miles to Memphis and caught Rock City Angels at the New Daisy. To this day when we email about concerts, he mentions how raw and energetic that show was.

RIP.

I never got to see them. I was friends with Durango on Facebook.

He dabbled in writing and actually subbed to SHOCK TOTEM once or twice.

He was a cool and own to earth guy.

Sad. From reading all the posts on his page, it's sounding like a suicide thing.

I know it gets said about every other similar band from that era, but Rock City Angels' Young Man's Blues is truly an unheralded classic IMHO. RIP
