Sam Shepard, 1943-2017

May he rest in peace. He certainly was an interesting man.

My sister had Lou Gehrig's Disease (ALS) and died February 22, 2017. It's a terrible disease.

-I'll put this down in the non-music section unless/until there's significant information posted about Sam Shepard as a musician. I knew of him mostly as a playwright and actor - and a very good one.
