By Aaron Holm -
I'm certainly growing tired of cancer taking some of our finest artists. Lemmy, Bowie, Rickman. Throw Scott Weiland in there, who suffered a lifelong cancer called drug abuse, and it's just becoming too much for this aging hockey fan. I can't take it anymore! Dear universe, quit fucking with people who bring joy to the world!
It's a sad part of life, and one that is all too real for not only fans of the arts, but an endless number of families across the globe. So please, join me in saying:
Let's just get right into it. Continuing our week of tributes to the late, great (I can't get used to this) David Bowie, I'm bringing you a two-fer special. First, one of my favorite bands, Umphreys McGee with special guests STS9 bringing a little something to help you shake in your seat! After that, Bowie along with the boys from the Foo Fighters with one that will hit you right in the chest. It goes without saying, but I'll say it anyway, turn this shit up and LET'S DANCE!
