Always take sides. Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim. Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented.

Indeed the safest road to Hell is the gradual one - the gentle slope, soft underfoot, without sudden turnings, without milestones, without signposts. C.S. Lewis, 1898 - 1963.

"Jack Bruce of course was my hero when I first started playing. Just him coming out with that bluesy, jazzy style on bass and he brought a kind of aggressive tone to the Cream." - Geddy Lee



The rusty wire that holds the cork that keeps the anger in
Gives way and suddenly it’s day again
The sun is in the east
Even though the day is done
Two suns in the sunset, hmph
Could be the human race is run

RIP Jack!
No doubt, he was one of the best Bassists in Rock History!

No doubt at all.


Start where you are. Use what you have. Do what you can.

damn. I've been thinking about doing a posting of
Jack Bruce youtube stuff here, just waiting for
a time I could spend to to gather the material.
One of a very short list of favourite artists,
I have about twenty five JB albums. Anyone who
does jazz, rock, and blues with a heavy emphasis
on improvisation gets my attention, there are so
few of them, as it's so hard to do well. And he
was one of the very best. So glad I got to see him
when he toured through town with Spectrum Road a
couple of years ago.

Well, here's one youtube, the Question of Time
version of Want to Make Love (could only find it
from a Nicky-Hopkins-as-sideman session cuts CD,
but it sounds like the same take:

Sad news; I remember hoofing excitedly away from HMV in Oxford Street carrying a newly bought copy of Disraeli Gears,sat on the Tube gazing at the wondrous artwork on the sleeve. I was also fortunate enough to attend the Cream farewell concert.
Makes one feel old when one's rock heroes die of old age or natural causes, or leave the rock scene due to ill health like Malcolm Young instead of succumbing to 'sex & drugs & rock & roll'.
