Lemmy Was More Than Motörhead

Even if you weren't aware of Motörhead leader Lemmy, you might have become aware of him on social media after his recent death.  GLT's Jon Norton occasionally visits local record stores to hear what's playing on the turntable while customers browse the bins and recently learned more about Lemmy.

When he stopped into Reverberation Vinyl in Bloomington over the weekend, he wasn't surprised that the turntable was giving a lot of play to Lemmy.  But he was surprised that it wasn't Motörhead coming out of the speakers.
