[Van Hagar]

Ok, enough politics, time for something more interesting (and important)—music!  This discussion got started at work this morning, and I found it thought-provoking. Of all the great musicians and musical acts that left us way too soon, if you had the power to erase one of those and give them a full career, who would it be?

  My knee jerk reaction was Jimi Hendrix, just to see what he would have eventually accomplished as a guitarist.  But after I thought about it for a while, I think my answer is the members of Skynyrd that died in the plane crash. I feel like they were just hitting their stride as a band, and it’s untelling how many more timeless songs Ronnie Van Zant still had in him.

  Who would it be for you?
