RIP Charlie Quintana

Plugz and Social Distortion drummer who also played with Dylan, Cracker and John Doe, among others. It's all over Facebook (never met him, to my knowledge, but we have a LOT of mutual friends) though no official cause that I'm aware of. I'd heard he'd been in ill health, but don't know any additional details.

A great guy, by accounts I'm hearing. RIP.

Charlie, with a man he once knew.

Sound check:

Things that a fella can't forget...

That's a rocking version of Jokerman (rehearsal and live). I don't think I've ever heard Dylan sound so much like the Clash. He could have slipped in "career opportunities the ones that never knock" and no-one would have batted an eyelid.

I never knew him well. We had mutual friends and would run into each other from time to time. That was many years ago. I haven’t seen him in a very long time. I remember him as a nice guy and a hellaciously good drummer. R.I.P.

The Plugz were a pretty happening band back in the day.
