With a heavy heart I have to inform my fellow Gassers of the passing of one of us, Jimmy Whitley, who passed away last week. Jimmy posted under his real name for a few years, and then later on as "Cardinal Fang".
He was one of the best-known Gassers back in the early days and was one of our main posters, a guy who knew the Stones as well as anybody and was a person who could answer almost any Stones related question that came his way.
Jimmy, along with Gasser Syph (aka Mike, and who broke the news to me) met here at Gasland and in short time the two became best friends in the real world. They wrote and performed the now well-known, well-loved, Punk rock Gasland song "Whores of Babylon". The song was written about us Gassers and how so many friendships came about from this joint. Yes, we Gaslanders were the first of the Stones boards to hold get-togethers in the real world, back as early as the mid 1990s; heck, I helped to organize the very first one, which was held in Denver.
Damn, it hurts to hear "Whores of Babylon" now that he's gone.
Jimmy hadn't posted here in a few years, but I know he still felt he was a Gasser regardless, and he was. I never broke off contact with him after he left here, and he was always sending me Stones related gifts in the mail. That's the kind of guy he was.... Below is a photo of him with Gasser Maxmeister, taken at one of those C-10 get-togethers, this one was held in San Francisco a few years ago. Jimmy is on the left. RIP buddy, we will all miss you!
