R.I.P. Don Kirshner

[TRichardsbass]

Not a bassist, but maybe responsible for more bass players picking up the bass then just about anyone. How many of us got our first real introduction to many bands live through his great show "Rock Concert." Also, many don't remember he was the driving force behind the "Brill Building Writers".

God Speed Don.

R.I.P.- My first exposure to some great bands came from his shows when I was a kid (pre-MTV, of course).
