I just learned yesterday that Bill Pitcock IV died of Cancer back in 2011. He was the guitarist in the Dwight Twilley Band, and played that great flurry-of-notes break in the middle of "I'm on Fire". You smokers hear this all the time, but.....Bill was a two-pack-a-day man since his teens, and lived to only 58. Like other great guitarists I've know, he had a terrible diet (a liter bottle of Coke and a cigarette pack were always within reach) and just smoked, drank Coke, and played guitar, every day, all day.
