John Warren “J” Geils –
Musician, songwriter, hometown zero.
February 20, 1946 – April 11, 2017.
Aged 71 years.
Most recognized for: As leader of the eponymous J. Geils Band, he’s responsible for catchy 80’s crap like “Love Stinks,” “Freeze Frame,” and the no. 1 hit “Centerfold.” Beloved so much by his pathetic home town of Groton, MA, they proclaimed December 1st “J. Geils Day” in 2009. It sounds like the cultural roots of that burgh run about as deep as the Amish gene pool.
