I'm shocked to see that it has now been a full 20 years since Stevie Ray Vaughan and several others were killed when their helicopter, which they boarded after a sold-out concert, crashed into a hill on Aug. 27, 1990. I first became aware Stevie Ray Vaughan -- like I did with so many other artists -- through watching MTV endlessly through the '80s. Do they even make music videos anymore?) I would definitely put Vaughan on a par with Eric Clapton as a guitar god, and many others have even gone out of their way to compare him to Jimi Hendrix.
