If I recall, didn't Harry Chapin die in a car crash, too? How eerie. One person writes about another person (basically, about growing older), and then both die the same way.

Harry Chapin actually died of a heart attack but, yeah, he unfortunately
crashed his car into a semi while doing so. Thankfully, he didn't take
anybody else with him.

I don't think I ever heard the full story. In any event, very sad.

Jim Connors Tribute Site

That link doesn't work (yes,I know it's a 2007 link, can you go further in history what was on the site,such as Jim Connor's death date?
You know you're really older when you think that younger singer Jesse McCartney's related in anyway to former Beatle Paul McCartney.

To add to the story, Jim's ex-wife, Linda, who he must
have been talking to that day, still lives in Erie.
His daughter from that marriage, Jamie, also still
lives in Erie and is a realtor. They don't like to
talk about the bad times, rather reflect on the good.

After Boston, Jim went to work in Buffalo at WYSL. He
got married again and had, a son, Jim, Jr. He may have
had other children from that marriage. I've talked
occasionally to Jim, Jr. through Facebook. He looks
alot like his Dad.

Jim Connors, the subject of WOLD, died in 1987 in a
car crash.

Oh..wait, here's when it happened,1987, 6 years after and the same way as Harry.

i read Charlie Daniels band "Uneasy Rider" was heavily edited, and not just bleeped, for radio.

"UNEASY" PERFECTLY describes ANY story song edited so the storyline is lost!
