browsing fb at 1am this morning, i saw news i really wasn't expecting to see... well, ever. lemmy from motorhead passed away.

normally the deaths of famous people don't really affect me- i feel bad for their families, friends and fans then i move on. the difference with lemmy is he was one of the musicians who got me into heavy rock & metal way back when i was a kid. i've got good memories of sitting in the attic with my cousin at his house listening to motorhead, black sabbath, dio, judas priest, those kinds of bands and it's like a punch in the gut to see people who shaped your childhood pass away.

rock on man.
