It's Jeff Blehar. Not just the comments he sent to me but the ones he used to send to George, as well as various back-and-forth discussions we had that didn't make it into published reader comments. While we certainly didn't agree on everything, I owe a very large chunk of the way I approach thinking about rock music to him.


Unfortunately we lost touch a few years ago. I know that years ago he said he had a condition that would lead to him going deaf eventually. I really hope that he found a way to avert that.
