Larry Taylor Calls for Change in Music Biz
Larry Taylor: My talented brother Eddie is dead at age 47. It's never too late to do the right thing by me and others in the family. Please stop acting like I am not around. I'm 63. I want to play my music, be who I am, and live my life in peace. Give me the respect and you will get it back from me in return. Give me my flowers while I am still alive cause when I am dead it does no good.
