Longtime Seattle Rock Journalist Patrick MacDonald


 Word has been received that longtime Seattle Times music critic Patrick MacDonald has died.  He was just shy of his 80th birthday. 

For over 30 years, MacDonald worked for the Seattle Times, reviewing concerts.  I always enjoyed reading his stuff.  Especially after attending concerts.  He really was the area's connection to Rock and Roll. 

MacDonald is pictured above with Jimi Hendrix.  

MacDonald wrote for the UW Daily, then the Seattle PI.  He also was a DJ at then Seattle progressive rock station KOL-FM. 

He left the Seattle Times in 2008.
