What I didn't know was that he was a Negro League player... I knew he played baseball, he just didn't seem old enough...

I saw that too, pretty interesting.

Damn.  I like Mountain and Leslie West.  If he was a pretty boy he would've been on the cover of every magazine because of his looks, and looks would supersede his talent even though that's why he was a success.  But looks sell.  I never thought he got the credit he deserved as a musician.

Mandela effect.  Back years ago, he was in bad shape...

Here is a fun video of Leslie's first band, The Vagrants.  A fairly mediocre garage tune until Leslie steps off the platform and delivers a quick, killer lead that totally owns the video.

I think Rush Limbaugh was paving the way for his exit with yesterday's show...  He's missed some non-treatment days this past week. That, combined with the announcement in October about the cancer progression...

I've heard a few others on other shows really talk up the "pray for Rush.'. Then there's the numerous "that was Rush's last show" comments and posts

Art Bell, Bruce Williams, soon enough, Rush.

I got the feeling he was saying good-bye during that last show.

I got the feeling he was saying good-bye during that last show.

So did I, @juan. 😢

Obviously, his last Christmas and New Year...

Quality of life issues abound too...

Aww...  He looked old in the 70s.

I think his brother, Joe, died too.
