She had a kid with one. Don’t know if they were married.

I had heard he had pulled out of the tour they were doing.

MDS used to be a big fan of Beard's drumming style.

Saw them on the Sleeping Bag tour, around 1986 or so IIRC. The first half of the show were oldies, the 2nd half started with sharp dressed man and then all their new hits. Overall it was kind of dull. They barely spoke to the crowd and it could have been lip-synced for all I knew.

The coolest part of the show was that during the break, the stage transformed from the dashboard of their signature 1930's Ford, to a rocket ship.

I cannot remember a celeb passing with so much media attention on every network. Also, to have flags flown at half-mast across the nation. What a wonderful tribute to an american icon.

As said before, Dolly Parton is probably the last thing that almost everyone in America loved.
