Isn't one of Cacophony a paraplegic these days? I seem to remember reading something a couple of years ago.


Jason Becker has ALS. Can't move anything. Can't breathe without a machine. Can't even talk. He communicates by eye movement / looking at letters on a piece of Plexiglas. Google "Jason Becker yo-yo solo". The guy was an amazing player. Got the disease at like 20 years old.

Ah ALS, I remember now. Really sad, he was an incredible player. I think he's still involved in music in some form though.

Jason Becker also did an album with David Lee Roth (A little ain't enough) and I believe was diagnosed with ALS a week or two after joining the band......couldn't manage to do the tour because of that. Quite sad indeed......such a great talent taken away so quickly.
 
My wife & I too love watching Frasier (& Niles especially)....we've seen every episode on Netflix at least 2x......we love the witty humour.

I'm still in my Goth phase and the mere mention of someone or something named Barry Manilow causes intense agony. I think I may have cracked some eyeliner. I don't know if it's a COC violation, but that Manilow thing certainly is a crime against humanity.

Who decided to bring Barry into this place? There has to be a law against this......with some severe punishment/consequences?
