Les Paul has died.

This left me with three immediate reactions.

#1: That sucks.
#2: Wait, Les Paul was still alive?
#3: Holy crap, he was 94? Why must the unhealthy rock and roll lifestyle take the great ones so YOUNG?

Also: up until very recently, he was still playing live every week. Despite being practically MADE of arthritis.

I went to see Chuck Berry play last night. He's 82. It was awesome. I was surprised by his age as well.
