thatcrazycajunDamn it all to frigging hell. Dan Fogelberg has died in his Maine home of prostate cancer at 56, at 6 AM Eastern yesterday. (Same age my mother was when a different, much rarer form of cancer took her.)
One of my all-time favorite songwriters, and I didn't even know he was sick. This is the man who gave us "Leader of the Band," "Same Auld Lang Syne," "Longer," "Run for the Roses," and a whole string of other hits back in the 1970s and '80s.
What's your fave Fogelberg number? Seen him in concert, met him in person? Post your memories here. I never got to do either, and now it looks as if I never will. I so did not need this news on top of a morning already fraught with technical headaches at work.
