More than you'd guess, I suppose. And like most things in rock and roll, it's a tradition that traces back to the blues. They say Robert Johnson was poisoned by a jealous husband. Then there's Sam Cooke...
Fantastic post. I was aware of the Cream and Mountain relationship but you filled in other details. You’re the first writer who I’ve seen mention The Flock so bonus points.
Thanks. Knew the larger story but not the details. Wonder how many rockers died by another's hand.

A sad end to an interesting career.
So often true.

Thanks, Daniel! Indeed, the Flock made two odd and interesting records, which just happens to be my thing;-)
I actually saw them live back in the day. There was nothing like that happening then. Most of the people there didn’t know what to make of them.
