RIP

NEW YORK (AP) -- Dan Fogelberg, the singer and songwriter whose hits "Leader of the Band" and "Same Old Lang Syne" helped define the soft-rock era, died Sunday at his home in Maine after battling prostate cancer. He was 56.

Singer Dan Fogelberg discovered he had advanced prostate cancer in 2004.

His death was announced Sunday on the singer's Web site.

"Dan left us this morning at 6 a.m. He fought a brave battle with cancer and died peacefully at home in Maine with his wife, Jean, at his side," it read. "His strength, dignity and grace in the face of the daunting challenges of this disease were an inspiration to all who knew him."

A reminder to some of us to make sure we get our exams periodically.

A great song writer, no doubt. But why they play that fucking "Same Old Lang Syne," (is That how it's spelled?? Can't be!!) at Christmas is beyond me.

"The snow, turned into RAIN!" OH YEA!! HAPPY FUCKING CHRISTMAS!!

I remember driving somewhere with my mother one time and that fucking song came on. My mom was a concert train pianist . . . I said, "Listen to this!"

She nearly started crying when that last bit about the snow turning to rain came on . . . who hasn't suffered that pain??

I *KEEP* hearing this song most every day and just can't figure out why. It's not a happy song.

But I wouldn't ream someone's prostate over it. I mean, that's just wrong.

;D

And yes, Joseph, he WAS on my list. In 2005. But the fucker held on too long and I had to drop him.......Jake

One of my favorite singer songwriters - especially his High Country Snows album.

And just to annoy you people up there I love the imagery in "Same Auld..." of any romance being over and snow turning to rain....but then I dont have to live with snow AND we need rain desperately!
