J. Geils ....................RIP

[RoshawnMarkwees]

They were essentially a bar band playing large venues. Peter Wolf was berating a bunch of fighting bikers in the front row at a concert in Columbia, MD back in 1973. He spent half the show cussing at the bikers and daring them to come on stage and fight him. While wearing a tutu with a dollar sign on a tank top.

Which is weirdest hook-up?

• Peter Wolf and Faye Dunaway
• Greg Allman and Cher
• Julia Roberts and Lyle Lovett

Michael Jackson and Lisa Marie Presley.

Julia and Lyle is the weirdest pairing I've ever seen.

J. Geils, Longtime Leader of The J. Geils Band, Dies at 71: Report

Guitarist J. Geils, born John Warren Geils Jr., has reportedly died. He was 71.

WCVB-TV Boston reports Geils was found dead in his Groton, Massachusetts, home. He had lived in the town for 35 years.

As leader of The J. Geils Band, the group had 17 songs on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, including 10 top 40-charting hits. The band's biggest single, "Centerfold," spent six weeks at No. 1 and "Freeze-Frame" peaked at No. 4.

Billboard reached out to the Groton Police Department to confirm the report, but they declined to comment at this time.

Geils formed The J. Geils Band in 1967 with Danny Klein, Magic Dick Salwitz, Stephen Jo Bladd and Peter Wolf (later Seth Justman joined) while studying mechanical engineering at Worcester Polytechnic Institute. They released 11 studio albums before breaking up in 1985. They would reunite on and off over the years following. In 2012, Geils left the band for good.

The band's other charting singles include "Love Stinks" (No. 38), "Give It To Me" (No. 30), "Must of Got Lost" (No. 12) and "I Do" (No. 24). They also had 15 charting albums on the Billboard 200, including the No. 1 set Freeze-Frame, which spent four weeks atop the list in 1982 and finished at No. 5 on Billboard's year-end Top Pop Albums chart (while "Centerfold" was the year's No. 5 Top Pop Single).

Boom-Boom, out went the lights..

As I have been saying since Glen Frey and Bowie died, these guys that started out in the 60's are going to be dropping like flies now.

That's what happens when you get old..

I think I blew a car speaker on "Give it to me".

Great fuckin' band.

I saw the J Giles Band open for the Rolling Stones in Naples Italy in 1982. They were much better than the coked out, herion addict Kieth Richards and Mick jaggfer.
