The Rule of 3

If you've known me long enough, you have most assuredly heard me espouse on the rule of three, especially when it comes to celebrity deaths. When we lost Bernie Mac and Issac Hayes in the same weekend, I was simply waiting for the other shoe to drop. Sadly, it has. LeRoi Moore, saxophone player extraordinaire and member of the Dave Matthews Band, has passed away.

When Slick and I (along with our ladies) caught DMB a couple of weeks back, Moore was hospitalized and had been replaced on the tour by Bella Fleck's sax man. While he did a more than adequate job, Slick and I were both saddened by the fact that we missed out on a LeRoi performance. Little did we know that Moore would die some days later from the injuries he received in his ATV accident.

The tragedy here is that both Moore and Mac were still at the peak of their games. To compound matters, Slick and I never got to catch Bernie Mac doing his stand-up show - something we will always regret. Hayes, though older and having slowed down just a bit, still had much to offer as well.




We'll miss you guys.
