charon 4,943 Posted July 14, 2015 Recent interview with Daisy Berkowitz has him stable, but chemo every fortnight..... "I am managing but it’s hard. I am stable for now. I go for treatment every two weeks and afterward I deal with the negative side effects – extreme fatigue, inability to taste or eat, lack of focus, rough/burning hands/feet – for about ten days then I have to go back again…indefinitely." http://tamagazine.com/scott-putesky-daisy-berkowitz-perform-jack-off-jill-curated-show/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

YoungWillz 21,037 Posted July 22, 2015 Mitch Aliotta of Rotary Connection (which included a pre-fame Minnie Riperton), and Aliotta-Haynes-Jeremiah, 70. http://www.oldiesmusic.com/news.htm Here's the quote for posterity: "According to his daughter, Mitch Aliotta-- bassist with Rotary Connection and Aliota, Haynes & Jeremiah-- died Tuesday (July 21) at the age of 70. Though Rotary Connection only charted with "Want You To Know" (#96) in 1970, they are remembered for launching Minnie Riperton's career. And Aliotta, Haynes & Jeremiah are still remembered for their non-charting classic tune "Lake Shore Drive." The group appeared in the made-for-TV movie "Sparrow". John Jeremiah died in 2011."
