Dr. Hook's Ray Sawyer, 'Cover of Rolling Stone' Singer, Dead at 81

https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/dr-hook-ray-sawyer-dead-773938/

Ray Sawyer, the Dr. Hook & The Medicine Show member who sang the 1973 Shel Silverstein-penned hit “The Cover of ‘Rolling Stone,'” has died at the age of 81.

The Alabama-born Sawyer – who founded the group with Dennis Locorriere, Billy Francis and George Cummings – was a member of Dr. Hook & The Medicine Show from 1969 to 1981. A few years before the band’s formation, Sawyer lost his right eye in a car accident; Sawyer wore an eyepatch that made him resemble the Peter Pan villain Captain Hook, which served as the inspiration for the Dr. Hook moniker.

In 1970, Dr. Hook & The Medicine Show’s demo tapes wound up in the hands of author and songwriter Shel Silverstein, who recruited the band to become a vessel for his music: The group would turn Silverstein-written tracks like “Sylvia’s Mother” and “The Cover of ‘Rolling Stone'” into hits and released two albums of Silverstein-penned songs, 1971’s Dr. Hook and 1972’s Sloppy Seconds.

Trump - "A Political Fart in the Hurricane of History"

Rick Wilson strikes again!

History is going to wreck you. It's going to mock, belittle, and revile you in ways you can hardly imagine.

You're going to be a tragicomic footnote, a political fart in the hurricane of history.

You name will be a punchline, not a rallying cry.
