RIP Jon Lord. The keyboardist for Deep Purple, one of my 5 favorite rock bands of all time, passed away at the age of 71.
Jon was a musical genius in a band that has never been let in to the Rock N Roll Hall of Fame because Ritchie Blackmore is such a dick or something. But Jon Lord, with his blasting organ, made that band every bit as much as Blackmore did or Ian Gillan did, who's not a dick by the way.
Jon was classically trained, a brilliant musician and seeing him with Deep Purple wayyyyyyyyy back in 1973 in my first concert was such a great memory even now.
RIP, Jon. Getting into rock n roll heaven will not be a problem.
