Doug Fieger Died

I was sad to hear that Doug Fieger of The Knack died a few days ago.

I still have my "Get The Knack" LP, which I always liked. Plus I have "But The Little Girls Understand," which I'm not really familiar with.

With the first LP I know they were going for a Beatles tie-in: Capitol Records, the black '60s label, the band picture on the back, the title of the album. So that was exciting. And there's a lot of great stuff on it besides the biggie "My Sharona."

It's sad, but of course inevitable. They were right there, the new thing. But time drifts away and so do we all.
