Sad to hear about his passing.

The Jam were one of my favorite bands back in the late 70's and early 80's. I don't listen to them nearly as much as I used to but I think their music still holds up well to this day.

I wasn't aware of a porn star with that name. I wonder if there's a musician named John Holmes?

I don't know about you all, but it seems to me the deaths of musicians are starting to come at a fast and furious pace. Chris Jasper, extended Isley family member and keyboard player with the Isley Brothers from 1973 to 1984:

Then Fauci came for Isley Brothers' keyboardists and I did not speak out because I was not part of the extended Isley Brothers family.
