mikeyspizzaR.I.P. J. Geils
Damn
One of my favorite albums (all 34 minutes of it). Always wondered why more from the show wasn't included.

6gunsI'm sorry to hear this. Like many of you, I grew up with their music and being from Mass, J. Veils was always big.
Many years ago I was shopping for a new (used) car and test drove a Ford Explorer that had been owned by J. Geils. Nice car, but I didn't buy it.

PalSad to hear. When I saw this last night I was surprised that he was from MA. I thought he was from MI. when I checked on the net I saw that they considered Detroit a second home. They recorded two albums there. I saw him at several small venous during the 70's while in high school and college. RIP

rusbroI only know his band's two biggest hits, but they're both real standouts and they hold up very well.
I still carry a distinct memory of hearing
Centerfold in the pizza joint that was located across from the arcade at the mall when I was about 16. It just seemed so cool - hanging with a buddy, eating pizza, coin-op video games soon to follow, and a fun song about a dude seeing a hot chick he knew from highschool in a "girly magazine." I guess it kind of spoke to me, though none of my Angels ever turned out to be centerfolds, that I know of.
