Hardcore troubadour 14,922 Posted June 29, 2023 A musician/ actor that died too young for one that hung around too long, who would it be? For Example, I would swap Tom Petty for Neil Young. Neil Young peaked a long time ago, but Petty would have made great music for years to come. I’d also make Madonna dead and Whitney Houston alive. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I find it weird in a time when everyone it seems is remaking songs from the past, Croce seems to be ignored. The other day I heard Luke Combs do a version of Tracy Chapmans Fast Car. Uh, no.

The other day I heard Luke Combs do a version of Tracy Chapmans Fast Car. Uh, no. His type of music isn't something I normally would search for, so maybe that's why I've missed it all this time. But in the last 10 years it seems film makers are rediscovering him and that's how I've been introduced to him. Guessing since you'd whack Paul Simon for him, maybe I'll do a deeper dig and give rest of his catalogue a listen. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
