Canned Heat - One More River to Cross
Vast crooner Hite: "Send me a coroner!"



Notes

1. We are sorry to report that vast crooner Bob "The Bear" Hite died after a concert on April 5, 1981, having snorted a vial of heroin that he apparently mistook for a different but equally dangerous drug. 
2. Alternative anagram: Coroner: "Hite's one monster cadaver!"
3. Lest we forget, the preceding anagram is Re: Man's heroin overdose at concert.
4. Also, too: Send a coroner to cover the remains.

Death beckons Hite. "I go, fan. Gone!"



Notes

1. Death beckoned Bob "The Bear" Hite on April 5, 1981, after a show at the Palomino Club in North Hollywood. This was the last studio album on which he appeared.
2. Alternative anagram:  Hite's gone, Fito! Change band, oke?
3. "Fito": Canned Heat drummer (and band historian) Fito de la Parra changed Canned Heat numerous times after Hite's death.
