Mikey Welsh would've turned 50 today.
I remember when Weezer's 'Green Album' dropped 20 years or so ago. Mikey had joined the band to replace Matt Sharpe on bass. I knew the name, but I couldn't place from where at first. https://rock929rocks.com/galleries/celebrating-mikey-welsh-from-his-boston-roots-to-his-weezer-days/

Then it dawned on me: Heretix. Jocobono. Juliana Hatfield. Tons of Boston bands I'd played on college radio featured Mikey on bass.
His time in Weezer was brief, and his time on earth tragically short, but his impact on music in Boston and beyond was gigantic.
