Farewell Ian McDonald

Ian McDonald - guitarist (and so many other instruments) and co-founder of Foreigner and King Crimson - has died. He was 75 and the cause was apparently cancer. I'm definitely more on the Foreigner side of things. A few Foreigner tracks are simply iconic, including "Cold As Ice."

[Him]

A sad loss of a truly gifted fellow.

True, Allyson, the Foreigner side of the coin is a bit easier to get into. But King Crimson is a nice, if acquired, taste. But that also speaks to his range as an artist.

RIP.
