... for an immensely popular, immensely GOOD classic rock band.

He was the most incredible singer I've ever known -- could do
Joe Cocker flawlessly (sight and sound) and did Robert Plant
better than Robert Plant could ever do Robert Plant outside
of the studio.
.
One night, we're sitting in a quiet bar and a woman from across
the bar points at him and screams,
"You're THAT guy!!!!!".
My friend, aided by about 5 or 6 double Crown Royals, focused as
well as he possibly could... and slowly, calmly replied, "What?"
.
She screamed a little shriller with different emphasis,
"You're
that GUY!!!!!".
My friend: "Yes... yes, I am."
.
And that was it. We went back to our conversation.

I enjoyed pointing out to him OFTEN over the years that he was,
indeed -- "
THAT guy", or sometimes... "that
GUY".
