I just read that Les Crane died on July 13. Hadn't heard that in the mainstream news.
Quite a set of pipes on that guy. Quite an attitude, as well--not one to back down from things.
Les Crane, RIP
Moderators: The People's DJ, David Paleg

Re: Les Crane, RIP
WoW!!!!! What a long, long, lost memory. I remember playing "Deteriorata", as a weekend DJ on WETZ-AM, in 1971. When reading the text from the song, It sounded familar, ran the U-Tube video....and it all came back. The other stuff of Les Crane I did not know. What a treasue trophy of Trivia this will become.
I'm just happy to know the Dougger!
