And we thank the good Lord for that.
I would like to wish him strength and love and a speedy recovery.

Well Iommi isn't. Not right now. But he will. They all will. They all must.

But you know, unless you know the artist personally your investment, your attachment is really in and to their work. And the work will persist long after the artist is gone.

This is true of course.
But the longer they linger the more work they will leave for us to appreciate.
Imagine if Hendrix, Marley and Lynott were still with us, yea!
