Bloody hell!

He was a very good drummer and singer, in fact i was just listening to one of his albums ,

one of the few artists who brought politics and criticisms of governments into songs well
(the others being Jackson Browne and Warren Zevon(dead). )

sad day for music, seems like the number of true creative artists are dwindling...

Can we put clips up? actually I don't care, here's one:

Donald 'Duck' Dunn died yesterday. Played bass with Booker T and the MGs, but many of us may remember him as the bass player in the Blues Brothers movie
