Passion = Truth? How Jeffrey James Francis Ircink Sees The World? I love when people are passionate about something. That surging of emotion is the one honest measure of what truth is. It's a truthful display of how a person really feels about something or someone at that particular moment. That passion IS truth.

Where have you gone, Rob Grill?

Lead singer of the popular late 60's and early 70's rock band, The Grass Roots, passed away earlier this month as a result of a fall suffered from a stroke. Here's Rob's obit in the New York Times.

Are you fucking kidding me? The Grass Roots are performing on The Happy Together Tour at Wisconsin State Fair on August 7th and I've only been waiting YEARS to see Grill perform.

This is sad. Very sad. Dammit.

Here's The Grass Roots performing my favorite tune, "Midnight Confessions" in 1972. The audio's a tad off but I like how this was filmed. Here's another link of Grill singing the same song a couple years ago.

You will be missed, my friend. God must be one helluva Grass Roots fan as he couldn't wait to take you from us until I saw you perform.
