Sam and co-host T.K. Coleman count down the results of a poll on the music acts who died too soon.

The 11 Points Countdown show is back today (after a break of a few weeks) and it’s an interesting topic today — music acts you wish you’d seen while they were still alive.

To count it down, I’m joined by T.K. Coleman of Tough-Minded Optimism.

If you enjoy, please take a moment to subscribe to the YouTube channel. I really appreciate it!
