I was working for a couple of months during the summer of 1990 at a little film development company on La Cienega. There was this cat named Leroy that worked there and one day he brings in a copy of the Rick Rubin-produced masterpiece "Trouble" by the band of the same name and played it in our small common working area. Completely blew me away - to this day I consider it one of the greatest heavy metal albums of all-time. Their lead singer Eric Wagner age 62 died from Covid apparently a few days ago. Man what a fucked-up thing to learn of this morning.

Apparently refused to take the vaccine.

Such a sad and needless death. Eric was one of my favorite rock singers.

Hopefully his death will wake some people up to the fact that the vaccines do make a difference.
