Here is something I didn't know: Last month, Kevin Dubrow, the lead singer for Quiet Riot, died of a cocaine overdose.
I was never much of a Quiet Riot fan, but as a young man of 10 or 11 years of age, I do remember the buzz when they came on the scene. A few years ago, I watched a VH1 Behind the Music episode about Quiet Riot. With the popularity of '80s Hair Metal having waned, they were reduced to playing a gig at a nudist colony in Idaho... seriously! That doesn't condone the cocaine use, but perhaps it explains it.
Good Day to You, Sir

It's bigger news here because Kevin lived here for many years and was part of a local radio morning show. He was a pretty good on the radio although his idea of funny was not mine from time to time... I wish I could say I was surprised that he died from drugs but I'm not.
