Wow – incredibly sad news about Jam Master Jay, Run-DMC’s turntable master. Both of the front-men must be just devastated. I’ve spoken more than once about my appreciation and my nostalgic waxings about Run-DMC, so it’s a sad day in Robot-land. I remember just recently watching the Behind The Music episode, and both front-men were very clear that while they wrote most of the songs and sang them, it was Jam Master Jay who was the most talented and the glue that held the band together. It seems so incredibly senseless that someone would just shoot the guy in his recording studio, too – a studio that he gave use of at no charge to local musicians to try and help them break out. God damn, that DJ made my day……
