these past couple of weeks we have had to say adios to a couple of pals.
doug feiger, who wrote "my sharona" and founded the knack passed from cancer after a long, long fight.
i reunited with doug some eight years ago when i visited LA and attended the same "friend's of bill" meetings.
he will be missed, his music, courage and way with the world. he was a great example to his fans, friends and family.
john zambetti informed me today that another pal, eric greenberg , passed yesterday in LA. for the past ten years whenever i have visited malibu in california i have always taken the time to stop and chat with eric whilst he worked at radio shack in the colony. sir anthony hopkins used to do the same, so did rod steiger whilst he was alive.
eric had a lot of fans in our business. he was a bright spark, always enthused about a broad range of music and entertainment. his love of the arts and crafts was a tonic to all those who knew him and were sensible enough to drop in for a catch-up.
eric will be missed but his joy remains with us.
take care of each other, be careful of the careless word, be sure to have gratitude and masticate. best, o
