We remember the influential rock critic DAVE MARSH who died a week ago. He was 76. MARSH dropped out of Wayne State University in Detroit to help launch the rock magazine Creem before winding up at Rolling Stone. He became an early champion of Bruce Springsteen, and went on to write three biographies of Springsteen. The first book, Born to Run published in 1979 became a best seller. MARSH also wrote books about The Who, Elvis, Michael Jackson, and Sly and the Family Stone. In his book The Heart of Rock and Soul, he rated what he considered the thousand and one greatest singles ever made.
