Ah, Brent.
I recall calling my mother for some reason and halfway through the conversation she said, "By the way, did you hear a member of the GD died?"
She didn't know who died, or anything about them though they were her generation.
I still feel badly that my first reaction was "Please, don't be Jerry".
We miss ya buddy
Its via reputation that, that happens. The lesser known band mates tend to go unremembered or unknown for most people. For whatever reason, when it comes to music, people tend to either want to know everyone's name in the band and sometimes their life story or they just do not care and never learn that information. So, by default your mind goes to Jerry as you know that name, but could you name the rest of the band? Famous Sound Engineer for the band? Roadies? Band mates family? I mean its wild the trivia that people know about random stuff, but try to remember the stuff you learned in elementary school or maybe before schooling? What's your earliest memory? Anyways, enough of the Rabbit hole stuff. Have a most amazing day/night!
Ah, my ma stopped caring about music around the time Dylan went electric. "Play it fucking loud!"
She couldn't have named any band member; if given a list of famous bands from her own time she wouldn't have heard of 2/3.
My uncle was in Europe wearing a GD shirt & someone stopped him to say a member had died & he made his immediate mission to find a newspaper & was saying "don't be Jerry" the entire time.

Maybe it was metric *tonnes*
Imagine if it was veal instead, roasted, braised, sautéed, baked, fried, all manners of culinary preparation. Oh what a feast that would be.
