Another fallen rock star--Dan Fogelberg passed away today as a result of prostate cancer.
Fogelberg was an activist on environmental and other issues; his song "Face The Fire" was a great anthem for the no-nukes movement of the early 80s and he performed as part of Musicians United For Safe Energy during that time period.
I think Fogelberg's best tune is "Longer," a Beatlesque love song with a timeless quality to it.

Wow, all the great lyricists are dying off giving a new reality to how much time the rest of us have left to "sing our song." A little sting to the mind when Dan mentions the binding cracking and the pages yellowing....yikes. We 60's children identify with that even if we've never known the enduring love expressed in "Longer."
Thank you, Tony, for the stirring reminder.
