This day in music history.

June 29, 1979, Lowell George is found dead of a heart attack in a hotel room in Arlington, Va., at age 34. George was a gifted guitarist and co-founder of the band Little Feat. Little Feat's best selling album is "Waiting for Columbus," which sells more than 500,000 copies and reaches No. 18 on the pop album chart. It is thought that the reason for the heart attack was Lowells weight, the stress of touring and a cocaine habit. At the time of his death George was touring with his first solo album called "Thanks, I'll Eat It Here".
Time Loves A Hero by Little Feat
...Hear me well
Seeing aint always believing
Just make sure it`s the truth that you`re seeing
Eyes sometimes lie, eyes sometimes lie
They can be real deceiving
I got an uncle in Puerto Rico
Spends his days in the sun
And his nights in the casinos
He left the States many years ago
Took a fishing boat to Puerto Rico
Now my aunt she is sad and lonely
She`ll never know that she drove him away
As a coward I admire his courageous ways
Some say my uncle that hes a zero
His life as a shell, he left it back at States
I say he`s doing well without his shell
Bumming `round the beaches of Puerto Rico
The beauty of the sunrise and sunset
To his friends he wish he could tell
They`re at home still running for bells
Better San Juan than that blue collar hell
Well they say that time loves a hero
But only time will tell
If he`s real he`s a legend from heaven
If he aint he was sent here from hell
