Dickie Peterson (Blue Cheer): The Tragic Death of the Godfather of Heavy Metal

Dickie Peterson died in obscurity. A poverty-stricken death in a small German town. (Guitar roars) And here's the cruelest irony: While the man is forgotten his legacy roars across the planet. It's the sound he invented. Heavy Metal. The sound that built billion-dollar empires for Black Sabbath and Led Zeppelin. So how did the creator starve while others feasted in the building he built? This is the story of a laborer who built an empire but was never paid. #DickiePeterson #BlueCheer #HeavyMetal #SummertimeBlues #MusicHistory #VincebusEruptum #GodfatherOfMetal #Tragedy #Biography #Grunge
