A brief pause..

I once saw Jose Feliciano bust a "B" string on stage,and never skip a beat.
I watched James Taylor walk on stage with his guitar in one hand,and a tiny amplifier in the other hand,and proceed to bring down the house.
And I got to hear Dan Fogelberg tell my whole life story in melodic verse. ..Cool.

Way too sad. Damn, I hate having most of my favorite songs in iTunes remind me that the singers are dead. But at least we have the music.

So sad for us that he had to go so soon. Good to always have his music, though. Nice tribute, Sling.

Those newly shortened hours of yours are a pretty good opportunity to do more of the stuff that makes you a living legacy. (?) But really, that made all SORTS of sense before it showed up on the screen. I always think that men like you just need more time to spread yourselves around.

Shit. I think I made it worse.

A sad, sad loss. Anyone that young always is, but the wealth of talent and what was left to create- tragic.

Woops!..I forgot I posted this..Well,I didn't forget as much as I've had this song in my head for the last two days,distracting me...Not distracting me,so much as it's prompted some seasonal introspection..
What were we talkin' about?
