Wow....he's a solid drummer and in several decent projects. I hope there are no more deaths or injuries.

Terrible news. They've been running a headline across the bottom of the t.v. screen on local stations here. There was a big concert in "Five Points" (party central for USC students) last night, the reason the band members were in Columbia. Hope everybody else pulls through.

Be interesting to see if any of the 4 dead were performers last night. Perry Ferrell was there last night also.
