RIP Earl Palmer


Man, the hits just keep on coming. Caught this headline on Yahoo about 15 minutes ago and had to do a double-take:

Hall of Fame drummer Earl Palmer dead at 84

Not much to add right now, but I'd like to declare a six-month moratorium on anymore of my musical heroes dying. Seriously, this is getting ridiculous. Oh well. Rest in peace, Brother Earl.

As it happens, I did a fairly extensive profile on Earl Palmer in July. Check it out, yo.
