RIP. He wrote some great songs.
I wonder what the "long-standing illness" was ... it sounds ominous.

just to clarify, they weren't performing, they were just shvitzing.

A guy at work came in and said "Doug Bennett's dead!"
I shrugged and said "Who's that?"
"Doug Bennett AND the SLUGS"
"Oh no!"

Lots of fun. I almost went to see them this summer, but figured I'd have many more chances.

I heard this the other day and was sad even though I used to really hate "Making it Work". I'm really not sure why I disliked it so much, any more. Bye, Doug. :(

"Real Enough" is one of my favorite songs from the 80s. RIP
