Why are we so bummed about Lemmy?

Because when he was 68 he was laying it down like this live.

He never stopped crushing it. RIP - to quote one of your classics - You knew the law, you knew how to die.

Lemmy wasn't ever afraid to play for the high one, dance with the devil, or go with the flow.

And that's the way he liked it -- it was all the same to him.

Why are we so bummed by his death? Because he DESERVED to live forever.

The blues band you posted Top. But you really can't compare the two.

Hope you are doing well.

Thanks for asking. We are doing well. The high water is giving us some detours but the house is fine.

I've been a Motorhead fan since i was the Polack Civilian. So i had to put something on here to say goodbye.

Peace

I'm glad ya'll are doing well.

I didn't realize he had died, I just listened to the videos. My apologies.

Rest in peace Lemmy.
