JD Souther, RIP

Fine songwriter, of the tunes I know were his or his collaboration, ranking high up there is "Heart of The Matter" but the recording that did it justice is the in-concert ones of the re-formed group.  The jingly jangly electric guitar on Henley's solo album marred the tune IMO.

RIP, JD.
An old friend of mine just wrote me on FB to tell me that JD was dating Judee Sill, and he inspired her to write the song "Jesus Was a Crossmaker", which she read on Wiki.
I told her:
"Yeah, most people think that was a religious song, but actually it's about the time that JS and JD were in a romantic relationship. They both went to Linda Ronstadt's birthday party, and JS caught JD and LR in a 'compromising sexual situation' and JS said she had to write that song about it or commit suicide. Basically, she's talking about JD being crucified, either by her or someone else. Well, I guess her dream finally came true today."
