Dick Wagner, who played guitar with Alice Cooper, Lou Reed and at various points in his career, died on July 30th after being hospitalized in Scottsdale, Arizona for respiratory failure. Two weeks earlier, he had undergone a cardiac procedure, according to Detroit Free Press. He was 71
"Even though we know it's inevitable, we never expect to suddenly lose close friends and collaborators," Cooper said in a statement. "Dick Wagner and I shared as many laughs as we did hit records. He was one of a kind. He is irreplaceable. His brand of playing and writing is not seen anymore, and there are very few people that I enjoyed working with as much as I enjoyed working with Dick Wagner."<br />

Bret Michaels made a surprise live appearance on the American Idol Finale show just a couple of weeks after his life threatening health problems. Although somewhat gaunt Bret seemed in pretty good spirits considering the past month or so. Other non Idol special guests were Alice Cooper, Bee Gees, Hall & Oates, Janet Jackson, Joe Cocker and moreChris Walterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18248661538047332956noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1815662728271720536.post-70043740673446808642010-04-22T20:08:00.000-07:002010-04-22T20:08:57.039-07:00Idol Gives Back, TV Land Awards and ACM Awards.Three shows in a week.

Until a few weeks ago I'd never met Jim Marshall. I knew his work, and his legendary ways, but until we both were on the panel with Graham Nash to launch the Taking aim book and Exhibition, our paths had not crossed. Jim was friendly and sociable and I'm glad I finally met him before he and his beloved Leica left us. But with the picture at the left the legendary persona of Jim showed when the pressing of the shutter was taking too long he uttered the immortal words "Just take the f****** picture". A lasting final memory of a real character!<br />
