    "comment": "Greg Kihn, a rock and roll musician best known for his ‘80s hit songs “Jeopardy” and “The Breakup Song,” has died.\n\nKihn died of Alzheimer’s disease on Tuesday, his management team said in a statement posted to Kihn’s website. He was 75.\n\nHe was born on July 10, 1949, in Baltimore and started writing songs and playing coffee houses while still in high school in the Baltimore area. When Kihn was 17, his mother submitted a tape of one of his original songs to the talent contest of the big local Top 40 radio station WCAO, in which he took first prize and won three things that would change his life: a typewriter, a stack of records, and a Vox electric guitar.\n\nKihn moved to the San Francisco area in the 1970s and later signed to Beserkley Records. With a songwriting style that blended folk, classic rock, blues and pop, his Greg Kihn Band had their first hit with “The Breakup Song,” released in 1981.\n\nIn 1983, the band’s song “Jeopardy” rose to No. 2 on the Billboard HOT 100 songs chart behind Michael Jackson’s “Beat It.” \n\n“Weird Al” Yankovic did a parody of the “Jeopardy” song in the ‘80s called “I Lost on Jeopardy.” Kihn authorized Yankovic to make the spoof under the condition he could participate; which was seen at the end of Yankovic's music video where Yankovic is tossed into a convertible, revealing Kihn to be the driver.\n\nFrom 1996 through 2012, Kihn was a morning radio disc jockey for KUFX, a Bay Area classic rock radio station.",
