Since I don't see the Dragon Cave any longer I didn't know where to put this.
For those who might not have heard; Sam Phillips, the man who recorded B.B. King, Howlin' Wolf, Ike Turner, Rufus Thomas, Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis, Carl Perkins, Charlie Rich, Roy Orbison and countless others passed away Wednesday.
I just loved Jim Dickinson's quote about Sam:
"The idea of creative production, although it was right there for anyone, he was the one who seized it. He saw more in those people than they saw in themselves.
...The idea he was trying to get across on all of his records was the individual's right to free expression. That seems like such a simple thing, but try applying it to pop music now."
He will be missed.
