Sad day for ’80s New Wavers: the Knack’s lead singer dies

My Sharona one of George Bush's favorite songs

From Eric Dondero:

Doug Feiger, lead singer of The Knack died on Sunday. He had been suffering from Cancer.

The band hit the scene in 1979 with the monster hit "My Sharona" immortalized in the hit movie "Reality Bites." And later their second chart topper was the risque "Good Girls don't."

He was also known as the brother of the eccentric Michigan lawyer (of Jack Kevorkian fame), and one-time Democrat candidate for Governor Geoffry Feiger.

A side note. Former Republican President George W. Bush was a fan.

From Yahoo News:

"My Sharona" gained attention again in 2005 when it was reported that George W. Bush had the song on the presidential iPod.
