Re: paul leka RIP
Sorry to hear that Chris. May Paul RIP.
I got Jesus in my fax machine. I saw Ho Chi Minh down @ Burger King. I dated Vinnie Vincent as a Drag Queen. I still don't understand a f**kin' thing.
I have come here to chew bubble gum and kick ass and I'm all out of bubble gum.

Re: paul leka RIP
a note from my close friend/ producer Vic Steffens @ horizon music group :
After a brief bout with a very aggressive cancer, producer Paul Leka passed away today. Paul was a mentor and a friend to the end. Paul started as a writer, with Na Na Hey Hey, Goodbye and Green Tambourine being his two most successful songs. As a producer he brought REO Speedwagon to Epic and produced the first two records out of his Connecticut Recording in Bridgeport CT. Leka also had hits with Harry Chapin (Cats in The Cradle) and Peter Nero (theme from summer of 42), and Angela Clemmons (Give Me just a Little More Time) He had been largely inactive the past 20 years, but had started some new projects last year. A great guy, thoroughly professional, someone i will miss everyday...

Re: paul leka RIP
Yes, the various types of cancer affect everyone.! I actually lost my "2nd mother" two weeks ago! I was mates with her eldest son and her other son was my drummer! I was over their house every weekend from mid '89 until 2 years back! Many week days too!

There is more money in selling people medicine, NOT THE CURE.

That'sright on Rick, it's a multi billion $$$ industry... I don't think the pharmacists want cures... Just medicinal sales...

Re: paul leka RIP
I KNOW 'THEY' have a cure....But why would 'THEY' release it, when you have multi nation mega corporation pharmaceutical companies pedalling their band-aid temporary fix, which is all subsided by the government (us the tax payers). The governments of the world have an aging population that they can't afford to look after. Can't look after, because they have raped & pillaged all the funds to line their own pockets. So in short, they don't want you to live too long. Just long enough so they can bleed you dry in medical expenses. They have plenty of money to rage wars & killing millions of innocent people, but don't have the funds to fix hospitals & take care of the people that vote them into government.
