Anybody know who this guy is? He was a founding member of Bruce Springsteen's E-Street band. I for one am not a fan of Bruce Springsteen, yet around 1984-1985 or so I seen Roger Daultry 'Under a Raging Moon' tour at the Capitol Theatre in Passiac NJ and The Bill Chinnock band opened. I was really impressed with this opening act. At the time I had no idea of his affiliation with that BS dude.

Sadly enough, I read in a small blog in the New York Post, that in his Maine home he commited suicide at 59 years of age due to his continuing bout with Lyme's disease. A quick quote in the same ad from his sister, not in these exact same words, stated he was always an upbeat guy but this Lyme's problem was just eating him away.

I only got the priveldge of seeing his band perform that one time. But now, some 23+ years later, I still remember it clearly.

Just figured I'd pass the word on.

They say things happen in threes... That's the third person who's committed suicide - 1st Richard Jeni, 2nd Brad Delp, 3rd Bill Chinnock.
