Aerostar Deathcar

I ran across this and thought I'd share.....

I'm sure some of you remember a band a few years ago called Iron Butterfly that had a hit called In-a-Godda-Diva.
Well in that band was a guy called Philip Taylor Kramer he was a Bass Player.
Any way one day He just Disappeared.
He was found 4 Years later, Here is what it said:
On May 29, 1999, Kramer's Ford Aerostar minivan and skeletal remains were found by photographers looking for old car wrecks to shoot at the bottom of Decker Canyon near Malibu, California

Here is the link if you would like to read the rest.

Other articles says he was not the original bass player, joining the band in '75.

So he's just a poor slob who tried to fly the not-very-aero Aerostar....

I didn't say he was an Original member. In fact only Doug Ingle was an original member when the band made the song In-a-Godda-Diva. It was him and 3 new members one being 17 year old Erik Brann.
Here is the link for Iron Butterfly: Iron Butterfly - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

It's In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida, I had all of their albums. That was a weird story, the drugs must have gotten to him finally

While were on it, any idea of the record for most people killed in an Aerostar in a single vehicle accident? 15? 20?

Because it's a van, I know for a fact that many lives have been CREATED in it, as compared to lives taken..I wonder who holds the leading title, ford, chevy, or dodge?
Might be chevy, those guys used to party hardest. They even have song written about themselves...

i'd rather go up or down in my Aerostar rather than a Hugo or Vega

when i'm old and die, tan my hide into leather and make it into the driver seat of an Aero owned by a cute cowgirl.
that way i'll be between the 2 things i love.
