* Allen Lanier, founding member of Blue Oyster Cult had died of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease at the age of 67...

*He was also once Patti Smith's boyfriend...

* I dug the Cult a lot and kept up with them closely from their first album ('72 I think) to the 'Agents of Fortune' album which featured their mega-hit, 'Don't Fear The Reaper'... Got off the train at that point although I did dig their tune 'Godzilla' which came a little later down the road...


One of my favorite groups also. Sorry to hear about Allen.
I know I've featured "Burnin' For You" on my video picks more than a few times. Never got to see them in concert. Came close once when they were on the bill at Sandstone(Bonner Springs KS) but they cancelled. If memory serves me correctly they were supposed to open then ELO and Kansas.
