I love the live record with Lou Reed noticing him in the back and yelling “CLIVE! I WANT MY MONEY, CLIVE!!”

Both NYU grads, when tuition was a few hundred bucks.

When nobody else would take a chance on new groups, there was Clive.

To Clive and all the great music he brought us.

He did a fairly good job on balancing the economy back then. Hate to see what the new clown will be doing next.

Justin Cary, bassist for Sixpence None the Richer

So my first 45 I ever bought was Chicago’s 25 or 6 to 4. Always like their sound since it was a step to the left of music at that time.

All of them are out of Chicago now except Lee (trumpet). 
I got to see Danny Seraphine about a year ago, and he's still killing it, but you can kinda see why he got ejected. Will NOT stop talking and doesn't seem like the sharpest tool in the shed. I would imagine that the Chicago™ organization got tired of him. Still, look how he kills it in the video I attached.

Sorry, you're even older now; Rickey died a couple of years ago (as noted). That's a quote from Gene Shalit. I don't think he's your contemporary, right? :walker:
