Curse The Knack?

The Knack's drummer dies and the lead singer has brain tumors removed. It all reminds me of 1979 when seeing and hearing "My Sharona" race up Billboard's singles chart I went and bought Get The Knack the week it came, thinking that it would be a keeper. And it kind of was. But by album #2 they were wasted. Bruce Gary, the drummer went on to do a lot of other things. Read here Rock drummer Bruce Gary of The Knack dies. Reading that obit, I wasn't aware that he co-compiled the excellent Jimi Hendrix Blues collection. So I double checked the CD and yep he did. So, props to someone you never heard of who did good with his post Rock star life.
