This one feels personal.
Please go read this. Beautiful. It helped provide a catharsis because otherwise I was kind of staggering around listening to License To Ill on the iPod, not sure what to do with myself. Or say. I love it when someone out there knows what to say.
Rest in peace, MCA. You were a huge part of my life.
That was nice – thanks for the tip.
It’s make me feel good to know that Foghat are nice fellows.
Licensed to Ill came out at the perfect time for me. Senior year of high school, first car, driving myself to school. I had the CASSETTE blasting literally every day for a year. I still know every word to Paul Revere. This passing sucks for a lot of reasons, but mostly because its making me start to feel very old! RIP MCA.
“Now my name is M.C.A. I’ve got a license to kill
I think you know what time it is it’s time to get ill
Now what do we have here? An outlaw and his beer
I run this land, you understand I make myself clear.”
– Paul Revere
He founded Oscilloscope Laboratories, too? He will be missed. He sounded like a decent human being, and those deaths are always hard to take.
