The death of Randy Rhoads

 

Hi Grace!  How do you feel?  It looks like you are having a blast being a rock star.  I always pray that Allah grants my wife a great and righteous life, and a magnificent dowry.  Please help me by keeping yourself safe, faithful and clean.

This is the last of the series of plane crashes I want you to learn from.  Do you like Randy Rhoads?  "Crazy Train" is a fabulous song which I'm sure you can relate to.  Check out the video below.  What an awesome guitar tone!  His guitar was so loud at that gig.  That is what you call "aggressive guitar" and I challenge you to match or beat it, Grace.  I want you to be the best electric guitarist ever, and not just settle.  Yes, I saw your trying to hold on to the tremolo arm while you pick.  Don't give up.

Randy didn't like to fly.  Now what possessed the bus driver to stop at that house and start buzzing around in a small plane?  Of course he needed to gain Randy's trust to get him on that plane, so he took that woman as "hostage".  I notice a definite connection in the cases of Lynyrd Skynyrd, Rick Nelson, Jim Croce and Randy Rhoads.  Which is that the pilots behaved as if their loved ones were being held for ransom by gangsters.

The death of Jim Croce

 

This is an interesting one.  Jim had a gut feeling and changed his schedule.  He called the 57 year old pilot who ran more than 3 miles to get to the airport.  The plane then hit a pine tree at the end of the runway.  It's so bizarre, I guess the moral is "don't trust your gut feeling when you're Jim Croce".  A grueling tour of coffee houses playing folk music seems like a nightmare to me.  Maybe he went mad and the plane crash was a blessing that kicked his music to success so his family could get a better life.  The money probably went to the record label, though.

The death of Rick Nelson

 

And another band that bought their own plane and of course, it had to be an old beat up piece of shit.  But forget about the crash, because they managed to crash land without immediately killing everyone.  The burning question is, why didn't the pilots unlock the door to the cockpit?

Oh Grace, you got your own star at the Underdog!  Of course, I'm proud of you.

The plane crash of Lynyrd Skynyrd

 

Here's another band that bought their own plane and of course, it had to be an old beat up piece of shit.  This time, they ran out of fuel.  How dumb is that?  It almost seems like suicide...

The death of Otis Redding

 

Otis was the bandleader.  Yup, the bandleader.  He bought a cheap old plane to get his band to the gigs, and challenged the weather.  He needed every dollar to pay for his music and family, and couldn't afford to miss a single show.  That was how he died.  Easy to kill.

In other news, my source informs me that car break-ins in the US are increasing, and the perpetrators are strong and well-armed.  Please guard your stuff and your car, especially in the Bay area.  Maybe get some bulletproof windows.

The death of Stevie Ray Vaughan

 

Stevie Ray's death was caused by his schedule, which was made by his management, who could only blame the pilot.  What a helpless way to die.  Death by contractual obligations.

But you have to stick to schedule when you're a professional, so the fans know you care about them and the music.  I guess Stevie Ray should have traveled with his brother, I'm sure Jimmy got to the gig on time.  But how would Stevie Ray known that he was about to die?
