I’ve seen articles from USA Today, the Guardian, Rolling Stone, posts from Spotify, etc about the passing of Lou Koller from Sick of it All. The enduring influence and impact he and his band hand on music and so many lives is pretty unmatched for an “underground” band. pic.twitter.com/1wxpM9fxyp

Founding Grateful Dead guitarist Bob Weir died Jan. 10 at the age of 78. His passing came after a battle with cancer and lung issues.
“For over sixty years, Bobby took to the road. A guitarist, vocalist, storyteller, and founding member of the Grateful Dead. Bobby will forever be a guiding force whose unique artistry reshaped American music. His work did more than fill rooms with music; it was warm sunlight that filled the soul, building a community, a language, and a feeling of family that generations of fans carry with them. Every chord he played, every word he sang was an integral part of the stories he wove. There was an invitation: to feel, to question, to wander, and to belong,” shared his family in a statement announcing his death.
