You may not be ready for this yet, but your kids are gonna love it.

Yep, not only a great song but the ironic twist gave us the best joke in that whole movie.

RIP Chuck

I'm really sorry to hear this-- I guess he was one of the last of his era...  He was a fabulous musician and always seemed to be a nice man!  We will miss him!

This is one of my favorites-- we all used to sing along with this, in Grandpa's Dodge...

The word legend is way, way overused, but certainly applies in his case. It's not just that he was one of the true fathers of Rock and Roll, it's all of the other long list of legends of Rock who owe him more then they could ever repay as their inspiration and muse. He was the very first inductee into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. One of the four songs on the Voyager Spacecraft that has now left our solar system and headed into deep space is one by him.

RIP to a true, true legend of not just Rock and Roll, but of music itself.
