Sunday The 13th...?!?
Ah, but was it a Friday back in, say... 1971?
On this date, in 1971, 37 year-old saxaphonist King Curtis (he played on Coasters' 'Yakety Yak') was stabbed to death just outside his own NY home.
Was it on a Friday, in 1980, that Todd Rundgren, his girlfriend, & three guests found themselves bound and gagged by home invaders at Rundgren's own house in Woodstock, NY. - again?
And in 1982, was a "Friday the 13th of August" when Joe Tex ('I Gotcha') died of a heart attack at only 44 years of age, in Texas this time (not NY - for once).
Whether or not it is the number "13" that is the cause of all that bad luck, the combination of August and 13 has not been kind to musicians, no...
I shudder at the thought of what this might mean to more of their kind, in the coming years...
The Stones...
The last two Beatles...
The last Carpenter.
OMG - my very own flesh and blood; my cuz, São!
They might as well all take a day off their concert tours in August - and make it the 13th! Judging by the stories here though, they DO NOT want to stay at home either though...
A Sunday afternoon is the ideal time to visit some bereft family I'd say - hint, hint! À bon entendeur - ou entendeuse - ou fadista - salut! ;)
