What a horrible week this has been. Michael Nesmith died, my dad's in the hospital for cardiac arrest and not being able to breathe on his own anymore, and on top of that, I need to finish up Christmas shopping.

Thanks Larry. I know I shouldn't talk about things like this to non family members but I just needed to get it off my chest. My sister wants me to talk to her about it but I feel uncomfortable getting into the subject.

And she knows what happened.

So very sorry, @Erica. This time of year is difficult enough.

I suspect that despite his troubles he never wanted for money. He eventually moved to Hawaii.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 3:38pm
Matt from New Orleans:

He still sounded the same Larry and he had come down a few days before to practice with the backing band. I can’t even remember now what he sang. Ira isn’t one to want to hear the hits.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 3:39pm
Funky16Corners:

Too bad for Ira. Why would you want to go see an artist and not want to hear the songs they're known for?
Avatar Swag For Life Member 3:39pm
Funky16Corners:

Especially at a nostalgia-oriented thing like the Stomp
