He left a tremendous body of work -- timeless stuff.

Somewhat back on topic, at least we still have Cheech & Chong, although I heard recently that Tommy has some kind of health issue.

Saw them perform live with (the Lonnie Jordan version of) WAR, in 2014. They all were great.

Hope Tommy gets better quick.
