We lost family that day." Roger Daltry, 1979 These words were an eerie reminder on Friday, November 5th when 8 people lost their lives. This week, we address the tragedy at AstroWorld and mourn the victims of this dark day. Presented with respect by Rock and Roll Heaven. "Gone from our sites, but never from our hearts. It is with profound sadness we lay to rest our beloved Brianna Rodriguez. Brianna was one of the victims of the Astroworld event. She was a beautiful vibrant 16-year-old high school junior at Heights HS in Houston TX. Dancing was her passion and now she’s dancing her way to heaven’s pearly gates." Anything to help the family will be greatly appreciated. https://www.gofundme.com/f/m69j8z-funeral-expenses Our social stuff: Patreon.com/rockandrollheaven Twitter: @rockandrolllt Instagram: Rockandrollheavenlt Facebook: Rock and Roll Heaven Pod Our website: https://rockandrollheavenl.wixsite.com/mysite Email us! rockandrollheavenlt@gmail.com Check out the other awesome Pantheon Podcast at www.pantheonpodcasts.com
